India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem is rapidly evolving. GCCs are no longer limited to back-office or cost-saving functions; they are increasingly becoming strategic hubs for technology, innovation, analytics, R&D and global operations. As companies scale these centres, they need strong partners across talent, workforce management, compliance, technology and operations.
Several companies are helping organisations build and strengthen their GCC presence in India. These companies are powering the next phase of GCC growth in India from facilitating trusted hiring to offering talent and end-to-end GCC infrastructure.
Talent remains one of the biggest challenges for India's expanding GCC ecosystem, and TeamLease is addressing this through specialised staffing and workforce solutions. The company has been actively strengthening its presence in GCCs and has focused on building domain-specific talent pipelines and customised hiring models for them.
TeamLease also works across staffing, employability and workforce development. Its degree apprenticeship initiatives focus on helping create job-ready talent for sectors that require skills across technology, analytics and process management areas that are increasingly important to GCCs. By connecting talent acquisition with skill development, TeamLease is contributing to the creation of a more future-ready GCC workforce.

As competition for specialised talent increases, platforms such as Talent500 can play an important role in helping GCCs build teams faster and access a broader talent pool.
Setting up an India workforce involves much more than recruitment. Companies also manage payroll, employee onboarding, statutory compliance and day-to-day HR operations. 91 AT WORK positions itself as an India GCC-as-a-Service partner, helping global firms and growing companies manage these operational requirements through one platform.

Companies such as AuthBridge, Talent 500, 91 AT WORK, Team Lease and ANSR are contributing to different stages of this journey from building trusted workforces and finding specialised talent to managing HR operations, developing skills and establishing GCCs from the ground level. Together, these services are helping create the infrastructure needed for India's GCC ecosystem to move into its next phase of growth.
