What drives global organizations to concentrate their innovation capabilities so decisively in India? The answer lies in six cities that have become the backbone of India’s GCC Growth, commanding 92% of the country’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs).
These cities – Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, NCR, and Chennai – now host more than 1,400 GCCs employing 1.9 Mn professionals, with Bengaluru leading as the undisputed “GCC Hub of India.” Over 270 MNCs have reinforced this strategic choice in the past three years (FY2021-24) alone, transforming India into the world’s undisputed “GCC Capital”.
This remarkable concentration stems from years of purposeful ecosystem building. What makes these cities truly unique is their comprehensive foundation of capabilities, infrastructure, and talent – creating an environment where global innovation thrives.
Each city has developed its own strengths while contributing to India’s overall GCC leadership. Bengaluru, commanding ~40% of India’s GCC R&D talent, sets the pace for innovation, while Pune and Hyderabad have emerged as powerful alternatives, together hosting ~24% of the country’s GCC R&D talent pool. Meanwhile, NCR and Mumbai have carved out their own niche, revolutionizing the BPM sector with 35% of their GCC talent driving next-generation business processes.
Chennai complements this diversity by offering something equally crucial – the lowest attrition rates in the industry, providing the stability that global organizations prize. But talent is just one piece of the puzzle.

These policies have created an environment where global competitiveness isn’t just an aspiration – it’s built into the system.
