The ET Edge GCC Summit is supported by a powerful ecosystem of global enterprises, technology leaders, advisory firms, and industry bodies who are invested in shaping India’s GCC narrative.
Partnering with the summit offers direct access to senior decision-makers, visibility among enterprise leaders, and association with one of India’s most credible GCC platforms.
Over the past decade, Global Capability Centers have undergone a fundamental transformation.
What began as a model built on efficiency and cost optimisation has evolved into a powerful ecosystem of capability, innovation, and enterprise value creation. Today, GCCs are deeply embedded in the global business fabric, driving technology, talent, and transformation across industries.
Now, the next shift is underway.
With 11 successful editions across key innovation hubs such as Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Pune, the Summit has consistently brought together the leaders shaping the future of global enterprise from India.
In June 2026, the Summit returns to Pune for its 12th edition, bringing the spotlight to one of India’s fastest-growing GCC hubs and setting the stage for the next chapter in GCC leadership.
With over 120 GCCs across sectors such as automotive, manufacturing, BFSI, IT services, and digital technology, the city plays a critical role in India’s expanding GCC landscape. Its strength lies not only in scale, but in the nature of work being delivered.
