GCCs Take Center Stage 🎯 Once viewed narrowly as offshore execution arms or cost-optimization levers, Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have rapidly evolved into strategic anchors of innovation, digital leadership, and global competitiveness Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's budget announcement of a national framework signals a fundamental shift in how India positions these centers. At ANSR, we're excited to be part of this journey. When government vision aligns with industry evolution, that's where sustainable transformation happens.

Global Capability Centers are driving a premium play in India's office real estate, with companies willing to pay 15-50% more for Grade A, ESG-compliant spaces. The numbers tell the story. ➡Mumbai leads with ₹168/sq ft average rentals ➡GCC-occupied buildings command 50% rental premiums ➡277 million sq ft of total leasing activity dominated by tech and financial services What's behind this shift? It's not just about space—it's about talent retention and sustainability goals. Companies are betting that premium workspaces aren't a cost center, they're a competitive advantage. The race for top talent has moved beyond salaries to the quality of work environment. ESG compliance isn't just good PR; it's becoming table stakes for attracting global companies and their workforce. Are we witnessing the birth of the "experience economy" in commercial real estate? The data suggests yes. #RealEstate #GCC #OfficeSpaces #ESG #TalentRetention #CommercialRealEstate Smitha Hemmigae Business Standard
