Over Half of Indian GCCs Plan Hiring Growth Amid Talent and AI Skill Challenges
More than half of India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) plan to increase hiring in fiscal year 2027, with projected creation of around 1.5 lakh new roles. Despite improved hiring confidence, GCCs face challenges including a quality mismatch in talent, rising compensation costs, and a thinning leadership pipeline. Demand for artificial intelligence (AI) skills is notably rising, especially in retail GCCs, which have doubled AI workforce penetration since 2022, though senior AI professionals remain limited. Bengaluru leads in AI talent concentration across India.
