From Cost Centers to Innovation Hubs: Redefining the Role of GCCs in the Boardroom
India’s GCCs Are Growing Up. Is the Boardroom Ready?
India’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are no longer just operational support units; they’re stepping into roles centered on product ownership, IP creation, and strategic innovation.
In this episode, we bring together industry leaders and boardroom thinkers to debate: Are we still funding GCCs like factories, or finally treating them as labs? What metrics really matter today, and how should budgets and leadership evolve to match?
And are India’s GCCs truly ready to lead the next decade of global innovation?
Power struggles, bold pivots, and future bets. This is not your usual offshoring story.
Watch the full episode now and join the boardroom debate.
