About the Series

Where Senior GCC Leaders
Have Real Conversations

The India GCC Round Table Series creates an intimate, off-the-record environment where Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, and Senior GCC Leaders from global enterprises speak candidly โ€” about what's working, what isn't, and what's next.

Three cities. Three conversations. One definitive report capturing the collective intelligence of India's GCC leadership community.

Closed-Door Format

Chatham House rules. What's said in the room stays attributed only to the group โ€” not to individuals โ€” enabling honest, unfiltered dialogue.

Curated Participation

Strictly CXO-level GCC leaders. No vendors. No pitches. Peer-to-peer conversation at its most senior level.

Published as Industry Report

All three city conversations are synthesised into a single India GCC State of the Industry Report โ€” distributed across the global GCC community.

The Series

Three Cities.
One Conversation.

The round table visits India's three dominant GCC hubs โ€” each a distinct ecosystem, each adding a unique layer to the national narrative.

Bangalore

Bengaluru ยท Tech Capital

The GCC capital of the world. Bangalore's round table convenes leaders from India's densest GCC ecosystem โ€” covering deep tech, AI, product engineering, and the full spectrum of global enterprise capability.

Conversation Topics

Four Themes.
Shaping India's GCC Decade.

Each round table is structured around four core conversation pillars โ€” guiding the dialogue without constraining it.

01 / 04 ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Trends Reshaping the GCC Model

From AI-first operating models to the rise of product-led GCCs, what macro shifts are redefining the role India's GCCs play in the global enterprise? Where is the centre of gravity shifting โ€” and how fast?

Challenges Keeping Leaders Up at Night

Opportunities on the Horizon

India's GCC ecosystem is at an inflection point. Where are the most significant near-term opportunities โ€” for individual GCCs, for the ecosystem at large, and for India's positioning as the world's capability capital?

Ecosystem: Companies, Partners & Community

The GCC ecosystem is more than the GCCs themselves. What role do technology partners, talent platforms, government bodies, and peer communities play? How do we build an ecosystem that makes each GCC stronger?
