India's GCCs Expected to Grow at 11-12% CAGR Between FY25-29
Imagine companies have special centers in India called GCCs that do important work for their headquarters.
These centers are growing quickly and are expected to keep growing.
To do even better, the GCCs and their headquarters need to work together closely, sharing resources and setting goals.
The centers are becoming more innovative and important, and most companies plan to stay in India, using AI and digital tech to improve.
Indian GCCs are projected to grow value at 11-12% CAGR between FY25-29.
GCCs in India generated a weighted average CAGR of 10-11% for their HQs during FY20-24.
To maximize value, GCCs and HQs need alignment in resource allocation, performance measurement, and governance.
Indian GCCs are evolving into cost-conscious innovators and multifunctional centers of excellence.
Less than 25% of business leaders are considering relocating their India GCC operations.
