India is fast becoming the epicenter for global leadership.   Global Capability Centers (GCCs) across India have seen a staggering 120X rise in global roles over the past decade. The country now boasts over 5,000 such senior positions steering decision making for their Global HQs.   “This transformation is due to the maturing capabilities of India’s centers of excellence and how technology has enabled deeper data-driven customer insights,” notes Pari Natarajan CEO of Zinnov in today's The Times Of India feature.   Key to this seismic shift is a rich talent pool of digital, engineering, and leadership skills. As global companies concentrate more critical responsibilities in India across R&D, services, and customer-facing functions, they are also elevating leaders in the country to drive organization-wide strategy.   We believe that India is aggressively staking its claim as a global hub for innovation, talent, and leadership. We expect the rise to continue as India cements its status as the epicenter of global leadership. Sujit John | Sarv Saravanan | Chitra Sukumar | Vishal Bhasin #India #GCC #Leadership #talent

Karthik Padmanabhan, Managing Partner – GCC, Zinnov, recently joined Prakash Bagri, Founder & Principal at PRB Partners, on #IndustryInsights by ISB Executive Education, to unpack how the #GCC playbook is being rewritten. For years, GCCs followed a linear growth path, starting as support hubs, evolving into portfolio centers, and eventually driving #transformation. But today, companies are skipping the traditional phases, setting up tech hubs, R&D centers, and product teams from day one, accelerating straight to #innovation. The conversation explores the key growth levers, emerging trends, and the shift from capability to value creation, where GCCs are transforming into Global Value Centers(#GVCs), shifting from vendors to strategic partners, and fundamentally reshaping their role in global enterprises. Zinnov's team of industry experts help centers transform—driving innovation, new product development, higher-value work, building global roles, and driving portfolio optimization at scale.

The India Union Budget 2025 marks a clear shift in the narrative—making expansion beyond Tier-I cities easier.
