From AI Pilots to Autonomous GCCs: Building the Agentic Enterprise at Scale

Overview

India’s GCCs are moving beyond experimentation and evolving into execution-driven, AI-enabled enterprises. While most organizations have already explored GenAI through pilots and proofs of concept, the next challenge lies in scaling these capabilities into core business operations. The focus is now shifting toward agentic AI, where intelligent systems go beyond assistance to actively drive workflows, decisions, and execution across enterprise functions. GCCs are increasingly exploring how to operationalize this shift to deliver measurable business impact, improve efficiency, and enable more autonomous ways of working. 

This roundtable will bring together senior GCC leaders to discuss how organizations can move from experimentation to execution by building the right operating models, governance frameworks, and scalable AI architectures.
