Introduction

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have undergone a transformative journey in the last decade. Originally conceived as cost-effective extensions of corporate headquarters, they primarily executed back-office functions. However, the modern global enterprise demands more. Today, GCCs are being reimagined as innovation engines that drive strategic value, agility, and competitiveness.

Sansovi, through its comprehensive GCC-as-a-Service offering, is at the forefront of this evolution. By leveraging India’s rich talent pool and combining it with a robust digital infrastructure, Sansovi enables organizations to establish and operate GCCs that go beyond cost optimization to deliver sustainable innovation.

The Changing Landscape of GCCs

Historically, the rationale behind setting up a GCC revolved around cost arbitrage. Companies sought to relocate IT support, finance, HR, and other operational functions to lower-cost geographies. However, shifts in global markets, technology, and business expectations have necessitated a re-evaluation of this model.

Modern GCCs are now expected to:

• Act as centers of excellence for emerging technologies.
• Accelerate digital transformation initiatives.
• Foster innovation through cross-functional collaboration.
• Enable rapid scaling and market responsiveness.

India, as a destination, continues to be a strategic choice for GCCs due to its vast engineering talent, policy incentives, and mature startup ecosystem. Sansovi’s deep integration within this ecosystem makes it an ideal partner for organizations looking to build future-ready capability centers.
