India's GCCs Emphasize Reskilling Amid Growing AI Talent Demand in Q1 FY27
India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are increasingly focusing on reskilling existing professionals with adjacent technical skills to meet growing demand for AI and digital roles, rather than relying solely on external hiring. In Q1 FY27, hiring grew 5-6% quarter-on-quarter, with 56% demand for professionals with 4-12 years of experience. Key areas include AI, Data and Analytics, Platform Engineering, Cloud, and Cybersecurity. Bengaluru leads hiring, while Hyderabad shows rapid growth. Despite growth, significant skill gaps remain, especially in production AI roles.
