How Sansovi Supports Karnataka’s Ecosystem to Build High-Impact GCCs

Introduction: India’s Rise as a Global Capability Centre Powerhouse

India’s journey as a leader in the Global Capability Centre (GCC) landscape is no accident. Over the last decade, India has evolved into a destination not just for outsourcing, but for innovation, transformation, and global business continuity. Today, India is home to more than 1,500 GCCs, and the number is growing fast.

Among all Indian states, Karnataka has consistently led the charge. With its vibrant startup culture, world-class tech ecosystem, and a forward-thinking government, Karnataka, particularly Bangalore, has become the preferred location for multinational corporations (MNCs) seeking to establish high-impact GCCs.

This blog explores how Sansovi, a pioneering GCC-as-a-Service platform, is unlocking the full potential of Karnataka’s ecosystem to help global businesses set up, scale, and transform their operations efficiently.
