How Mid-Sized Enterprises Are Rethinking GCCs in India
Live Webinar | Wed, Jan 21, 2026 | 9:00–10:00 AM (CET) | 1:30–2:30 PM
Discover how mid-sized enterprises are launching lean Global Capability Centers in India to drive R&D, IT, and engineering value - without the complexity of large-scale GCC models. .
Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have long been associated with large enterprises and large-scale operations. However, that narrative is rapidly changing. Today, an increasing number of mid-sized enterprises are successfully adopting lean GCC models in India, which is designed to deliver strategic value without the complexity of traditional setups.
In this webinar, industry leaders will explore how mid-sized GCCs are evolving beyond conventional back-office roles to support high-value functions such as R&D, IT, and engineering. Drawing on insights from a recent NASSCOM report and real-world experiences from organizations operating in this space, the session will highlight practical approaches, operating models, and best practices for building right-sized GCCs.
Join us for an insightful discussion on the opportunities, challenges, and success factors shaping the future of mid-sized GCCs in India—and what business leaders should consider when planning their next phase of global capability expansion.
