AI-First GCCs
Moving from experiments to enterprise-scale, responsible AI, including agentic AI, GenAI governance and the redesign of work itself.
Pune GCC Summit 2026 | 13th January

A few years ago, the question was “Why set up a GCC in India?” Today it is “What can’t a GCC in India do?”
India’s Global Capability Centres now own product roadmaps, run AI and engineering labs, lead cybersecurity and risk functions, and increasingly sit at the table where global strategy is decided. Pune has been part of this story from the start. Few cities combine its engineering depth, its automotive, manufacturing and IT heritage, its universities and its quality of life.
Success has also brought sharper questions. How do we embed AI across the enterprise rather than run pilots? How do we find and keep deep-tech talent when every city is competing for it? How do we scale without losing culture, and prove value in the boardroom beyond cost savings? How do mature GCCs work with the startups, MSMEs and academia around them?
The Pune GCC Summit 2027 is where these questions get honest answers, from the people actually building the answers.
If last year’s conversation was about GCCs evolving, this year’s is about GCCs leading.
