Private conversations that become public intelligence.
An exclusive series of closed-door round tables bringing together GCC CXOs from India's three largest tech ecosystems — to share unfiltered insights, explore shared challenges, and surface the opportunities shaping the next generation of Global Capability Centres. The conversations are distilled into an annual Industry Report.
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 — 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.
Chatham House rules. What's said in the room stays attributed only to the group — not to individuals — enabling honest, unfiltered dialogue.
Strictly CXO-level GCC leaders. No vendors. No pitches. Peer-to-peer conversation at its most senior level.
All three city conversations are synthesised into a single India GCC State of the Industry Report — distributed across the global GCC community.
The round table visits India's three dominant GCC hubs — each a distinct ecosystem, each adding a unique layer to the national narrative.

Each round table is structured around four core conversation pillars — guiding the dialogue without constraining it.
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 — and how fast?
Challenges Keeping Leaders Up at Night
What are the biggest friction points in scaling, governing, and future-proofing a GCC in India today? From talent attrition to HQ alignment, from compliance complexity to technology debt — what's hardest to solve?
Opportunities on the Horizon
India's GCC ecosystem is at an inflection point. Where are the most significant near-term opportunities — 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?
Every seat is earned. Participation is by invitation only, curated for seniority, relevance, and diversity of GCC mandate.
