Global capability centres (GCCs) in India are moving up the corporate ladder, with nearly 20% of such centres enjoying real strategic authority, up from just 5% a decade ago, according to data from ANSR and Deloitte India. The number of global leadership roles based in India has zoomed to over 6,500 from just 115 in 2015 and is poised to reach 30,000 by 2030 with AI expected to boost the trend, industry estimates suggest.
