India's Global Capability Centres Expand into Manufacturing and AI Innovation
India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are evolving from traditional back-office roles to strategic hubs for manufacturing, AI, engineering, and digital innovation. This shift is driving significant demand for Grade A office space, with GCCs leasing 15.8 million sq ft in early 2026 across major cities. The diversification includes sectors like manufacturing, retail, logistics, and aerospace, reflecting a broader ecosystem. India's skilled talent pool and cost advantages continue to attract global enterprises seeking to accelerate innovation and digital transformation through GCCs.
