AI and Digital Skills Drive Hiring Growth in India's Global Capability Centres
Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India have seen an 11% hiring increase in 2026, driven largely by demand for AI, data science, and digital skills. Over two-thirds of new GCC roles require these capabilities, reflecting a shift from traditional support functions to strategic and technical roles. While Bengaluru leads in hiring, Tier 2 cities like Jaipur, Coimbatore, and Indore are growing rapidly due to talent availability and lower attrition. Candidates with cross-cultural communication skills and experience managing international projects are increasingly sought after.
