The big tech story out of India today is the mushrooming of GCCs or global capability centres.
Almost every MNC has set up a GCC in India to tap talent, resources, and expertise. Their growth is almost exponential. In fact, India is the de facto GCC capital of the world.
What is driving this bull rush? Can India cope with the demand? Does India have a big enough pool of tech talent to sustain these GCCs?
An assessment report on Indian GCCs released a few weeks ago by NASSCOM, the trade body for tech companies, answers some of these queries.
To flesh out the report and unpack the GCC story, StratNews Global spoke to Achyuta Ghosh, Head-Insights, NASSCOM.
