India’s GCCs Turn Intellectual Property Into New Growth Engine
Global capability centres, or GCCs, are teams that help large companies with technology and business work.
Providence has a large GCC in Hyderabad, India.
The team used AI and other tools to solve healthcare problems for Providence.
The company says some of these problems are also faced by other hospitals.
Providence India is now offering some of its solutions to other health systems.
One tool reportedly made data work much faster in more than 38 hospitals.
Other tools help detect infection risks, support cancer decisions and reduce doctors’ paperwork.
Murali Krishna believes more Indian GCCs will create and sell products instead of only providing services.
Providence India is shifting from technology delivery toward product development and commercialisation.
Its Hyderabad centre employs more than 1,800 professionals across AI, data, cybersecurity and enterprise transformation.
Providence says its unified data registry has reduced data-abstraction time by about 60% across more than 38 hospitals.
The centre has developed more than 30 accelerators, over 10 custom products and multiple enterprise platforms.
Murali Krishna says GCCs will increasingly be judged by innovation, products and business outcomes rather than headcount.
