Nasscom has been advancing a bold market diversification strategy to ensure the technology industry in India remains future-ready and globally relevant. To strengthen the industry's positioning in key FTA markets including Australia, UAE, UK and the EU we have established dedicated country councils. These markets present strong complementarities with rising demand for large-scale digital reconstruction and talent shortages. India with its unmatched capabilities is uniquely placed to bridge this gap. Through these councils we aim to deliver transformative outcomes, foster deeper collaboration and create long-term sustainable value for our global partners. Shivendra Singh nasscom Piyush Goyal

India: Beyond Code and Cost As an ecosystem well wisher and participant GCC Leader, Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of meeting several Fortune company CXOs who are preparing to establish or expand their Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India — especially in Hyderabad, which now leads the country in attracting new GCC investments. But what’s powering this shift goes beyond code and cost. It’s about Cognitive (AI +NI) fluency — and a cultural fluency that runs thousands of years deep. In today’s VUCA world — defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity — India has become a source of stability and scale for global enterprises. The country’s unique blend of technical excellence, adaptability, and human-centered intelligence is helping organizations build resilience amid global disruptions. India’s strength is not accidental — it’s rooted in a 5,000-year-old learning culture. From the Gurukul system, where learning meant living, sharing, and growing together under a Guru’s guidance, to Nalanda University, the world’s first global learning hub in 5th century BC, education in India has always been holistic — developing not just the intellect but the character. That legacy continues today. With 3 million graduates produced annually, India is the talent capital of the world. Our people’s deep cultural grounding and curiosity have evolved into something powerful: cultural fluency, the ability to collaborate across borders with empathy and nuance. Now, this is converging with Cognitive (AI )fluency. Indians are among the fastest adopters of AI globally, bridging technology and human intuition like no other workforce. It’s no surprise that India now hosts 1,800+ Global Capability Centres, employing over 2 million professionals and contributing an estimated USD 64 billion to the global enterprise value chain. These GCCs are not just back offices — they are strategic leadership hubs, driving innovation, transformation, and global decision-making. Whatever business you lead — India based GCC is no longer just an option. It’s the launchpad for global leadership and to be the leader, not a laggard in next economic cycle. Culture and congnitive (AI) fluency are the new catalysts for GCCs now. #GCCs #ANSR #GlobalCapabilityCentres Lalit Ahuja, Prakash Bodla, Pari Natarajan,Sameer Dhanrajani, Sandeep Sharma,Rajesh Kumar Ojha,Kanwar Singh,Sailaja Josyula (She / Her)
