India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) sector is rapidly evolving, with states like Uttar Pradesh competing to become major hubs amid a national ecosystem projected to exceed $150 billion by 2030.

Meanwhile, companies like IBM and Quintes Global are collaborating to integrate AI into GCC operations, reflecting a shift from cost-focused centres to innovation-driven, AI-powered enterprises employing millions across thousands of units.
