India has firmly established itself as a global powerhouse for talent and innovation—an evolution that’s particularly evident in the rapid rise of Global Capability Centres (GCCs). Over the past decade, we have seen multinational companies increasingly setting up their GCCs across Indian cities like Ahmedabad, Jaipur, GIFT City, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Gurugram and Chennai. These centers have moved beyond cost-saving units and now play a strategic role in digital transformation, innovation, and customer experience for global enterprises.
But as the landscape evolves, the talent powering these centers becomes the real differentiator. At RK HR Management, we recognize the pulse of this transformation—and more importantly, the unique talent needs it brings.
Why GCCs in India Are Booming
India presents a powerful combination of strengths: a vast talent pool, cost efficiency, advanced technological capabilities, and a rapidly expanding innovation ecosystem. As of 2025, more than 1,600 GCCs are operational in India, and that number continues to grow. These centers are no longer limited to IT services; they now span engineering R&D, data science, cybersecurity, finance, legal, and even core business functions.
This evolution means one thing: the demand for highly skilled professionals is rising like never before.
Talent Challenges for GCCs in India
With rapid growth comes significant challenges:
- Skill Mismatch: Companies may find talent, but is it the right talent? Specialized roles demand a unique blend of domain knowledge and technical expertise, making the talent search more complex.
- Attrition & Retention: GCCs often face high attrition, especially in mid-level roles. This leads to disruptions and rising rehiring costs.
- Cultural Fit: Beyond skills, candidates must align with the global culture and standards of the parent organization—something often overlooked in traditional hiring processes.
At RK HR Management, we address all these concerns with one simple focus—we connect Global Capabilities Centers companies with the right & cultural fit candidates, not just any candidates
The Evolving Skillset for GCCs
To stay relevant and competitive, GCCs require talent that’s future-ready. Some of the most in-demand skills in 2025 and beyond include:
- AI & Machine Learning
- Cloud Computing
- Data Analytics & Data Engineering
- Cybersecurity
- Product Management
- Design Thinking and Agile Methodologies
- Supply Chain Management
- Internal Audit
- Accounting
- Domain-Specific Expertise in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and more
Moreover, soft skills like global collaboration, adaptability, and innovation mindset are no longer optional—they’re essential.
