From Support Functions to Strategic Powerhouses

GCCs have evolved. No longer just about efficiency, they are now the engines of global innovation and digital strategy. India stands at the forefront of this revolution, transforming local operations into global leadership hubs.

The mandate has changed. Global Capability Centres are no longer defined by geography or cost arbitrage, but by value creation and strategic impact. As the epicentre of this transformation, India’s GCCs are evolving into the enterprise’s “Leadership Factories” and innovation labs. Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have transcended their origins as cost-saving back offices to become the strategic heartbeat of modern enterprises. GCCs have been evolving as the epicentre of innovation, leading digital transformation, and holding a seat at the table for critical boardroom decisions. Anchored by a mature talent pool and digital-first infrastructure, India is the nexus of this shift, turning GCCs into true centres of excellence and global leadership.

Telangana is emerging rapidly as one of India’s most dynamic Global Capability Centre (GCC) hubs, hosting a high concentration of Fortune 500 GCCs across technology, BFSI, life sciences, aerospace, engineering, and digital services. With its robust talent ecosystem, progressive state policy framework, and strong digital infrastructure, Hyderabad is now playing a pivotal role in shaping the next phase of global enterprise transformation.

Team Marksmen Network is thrilled to present its Global Capability Centres Summit & Awards 2026 in Hyderabad, aiming to unite India’s most influential gathering of GCC leaders evolving in a high-impact forum of thought-leadership and business networking, forging strategic alliances. Gathering GCC Heads, Global CXOs, and policymakers, this invitationonly event explores the transition from operational scale to strategic influence. Through candid dialogue and real-world case studies, we will define the next frontier of the GCC ecosystem—spanning AI integration, future workforce skills, ESG mandates, and geopolitical resilience.

From unveiling cutting-edge innovations to forging high-value alliances and shaping industry thought leadership, the Conclave offers a uniquely positioned platform for impact, credibility, and scale.
