India's Global Capability Centres Projected to Reach $98.4 Billion Revenue by FY26

India's Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem is projected to reach USD 98.4 billion in revenue by fiscal year 2026, supported by 2,117 centres employing 2.36 million professionals. This growth reflects a shift from traditional delivery roles to strategic enterprise nerve centers, driven largely by artificial intelligence integration. Nearly half of GCCs established since 2021 focus on AI, with over 1,200 embedding AI and machine learning capabilities. While AI boosts productivity, it is also influencing hiring trends within GCCs, prompting more selective recruitment approaches.
