India's Global Capability Centres Drive Growth in Services Exports Amid Challenges
India's global capability centres (GCCs) have become a significant driver of the country's services exports, employing over 2.3 million professionals and generating substantial revenue. These centres have evolved from basic outsourcing to strategic hubs for technology, research, and innovation. Services exports, particularly in software and business services, have grown steadily, contributing to a surplus in the services trade and helping to offset India's merchandise trade deficit. However, challenges include policy uncertainty and increasing global competition in services markets.
