India GCCs move from execution hubs to strategic centres as AI reshapes work, talent and workspace

India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are assuming control over product ownership and advanced tech initiatives. They are becoming key players in high-level problem-solving and pioneering research and development efforts. By 2026, the AI talent in these centres is expected to nearly double. Additionally, the demand for office leasing is on the rise, particularly in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, highlighting the trend towards flexible workspaces that emphasize agility and responsiveness.
