GCC CSR Spending in India Grows 6.4x to Rs 3,661 Crore in FY25, Accounts for 9% of Corporate Philanthropy
Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India have significantly increased their corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending, rising 6.4 times over the past decade to Rs 3,661 crore in FY2024-25, now representing about 9% of India's corporate philanthropy. This growth, driven mainly by Pure GCCs, outpaces overall CSR spending growth. GCCs focus primarily on education, healthcare, and environmental initiatives like water management, with most CSR funds directed to Tier-1 cities. Innovation-linked projects currently receive a smaller share of funding, highlighting potential growth areas.
