Nasscom GCC Summit 2025: A Strategic Blueprint for the Future of Global Capability Centers
The world of Global Capability Centers is evolving—and fast. From talent mobility to AI-driven operations, the rules of the game are being rewritten in real time. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, mark your calendar for April 22–23, 2025, as Nasscom hosts the 15th GCC Summit at HICC in Hyderabad. It’s not just another corporate meet-up; it’s where the future of global business services is getting defined.
This year’s summit promises a bold mix of strategy, innovation, and networking, bringing together CXOs, policymakers, and digital transformation leaders from across the globe.
What’s at Stake: Why GCCs Are More Relevant Than Ever
GCCs, also known as Global Capability Centers, are no longer just cost-saving outposts. Today, they function as innovation hubs, digital labs, and engines of transformation. With over 1,500+ GCCs operating in India, employing nearly 1.4 million professionals, the country has emerged as a global epicenter for strategic enterprise services.
The 2025 summit tackles the most pressing questions:
- How do GCCs evolve from support roles to value creators?
- What frameworks are needed to manage hybrid work at scale?
- How can companies accelerate automation without losing agility?
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or building your first offshore team, the answers lie in Hyderabad this April.
The Venue: Why Hyderabad Is a Natural Fit
Hosting the summit at Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) is no coincidence. Hyderabad has become one of India’s fastest-growing tech hubs, home to numerous GCCs, startups, and global firms.
It’s a city that blends legacy and disruption — a perfect metaphor for the summit itself. Expect world-class infrastructure, high-level attendees, and a setting designed to spark focused, strategic conversations.
