Over 20,000 Employees Shift to IT Firms Through GCC and Tech Unit Acquisitions
Over the past year, more than 20,000 employees have transitioned from global capability centres, enterprise IT subsidiaries, and product operations to IT services firms in India. Notable examples include TCS's multiyear takeover of Best Buy's India GCC and HCLTech's $10.5 million acquisition of Guardian Life's India operations, which added nearly 2,000 employees under a seven-year partnership. This trend reflects companies outsourcing parts of their technology functions to external providers.
