EDITION II
India's GCCs
From Global Mandate
to Global Command
The infrastructure of ownership is already in place.
This is the room where India's GCC leaders claim it.
The “Why India?”
question is settled.
The next question is who leads.
India now hosts over 2,100 Global Capability Centres, employs more than 2 million GCC professionals, and generates $64.6 billion in annual revenue. The case for India is closed. The conversation for 2026 is not about proving capability — it is about claiming command. GCC Summit 2026 is where that authority gets built, named, and acted upon. Four hours of programming. 300 curated delegates. One co-authored manifesto. And a dinner where the real conversations happen.

India's Global Capability Centres:
From Global Mandate to Global Command
A mandate is handed down. A command is earned. This theme names the transition happening inside the most mature GCCs right now — and invites the room to accelerate it.
The Agentic Shift
AI That Runs the Centre, Not Just Supports It
From GenAI pilots to autonomous operations. What agentic AI actually changes inside a GCC, where it breaks, and who owns the risk when it does. Which GCCs are already operating at this level.
The GCC Executive
Running a Global Business From India
How India-based leaders are claiming seats in global strategy, managing global P&Ls, and building the credibility that forces HQ to listen. The internal politics and the trust-building.
Startups Inside the Machine
When Founders Plug Into GCC Problems
The emerging co-innovation model between GCCs and startups. Procurement friction, speed mismatches, IP ownership questions, and what actually works when a 50-person startup builds for a 5,000-person centre.
Talent in the Age of Displacement
Building the GCC 3.0 Workforce
55% of current GCC roles face AI displacement risk. What does reskilling at scale genuinely look like? What new talent profiles does the command-era GCC need in 2030?
Agenda
The Programme
A single main stage. Four hours. No parallel sessions. Every session is designed to produce an output. The networking dinner that follows has curated seating — tables arranged by sector, not by company.
India's GCCs: From Global Mandate to Global Command
A sharp, data-driven provocation to open the summit. No pleasantries — just a point of view from a leader who has already made the shift.
The Job Nobody Warned Me About — What It Actually Means to Be a GCC CEO
A sharp, data-driven provocation to open the summit. No pleasantries — just a point of view from a candid conversation on the mandate, the politics and the moments that define leading a global enterprise from India by a leader who has already made the shift.
Agentic AI: Beyond the Pilot — Where GCCs Are Placing Their Real Bets
Real deployments. Real failures. Real numbers. No slide decks — what's actually deployed today.
Curated Speed Networking
Pre-matched one-on-one introductions. Not a passive tea break.

Built for the people
who make decisions,
not attend them.
GCC Summit 2026 is deliberately half-day and deliberately curated. Every seat at this summit is a strategic placement — not a registration. The room is designed for high-signal conversations between the people shaping India's GCC future.
