“ET GCC Annual Conclave 2024: India’s Platform for Shaping the Future of Global Commerce”
New Delhi, 17th October 2024: The Economic Times, India’s leading business news brand, is set to host its annual Global Capability Centers (GCC) Conclave in 2024. This event will showcase how India is becoming a world leader in cutting-edge technology, strategic planning, and business innovation through its GCCs.
Bengaluru has emerged as a global powerhouse for GCCs, boasting over 875 centers. The Karnataka government’s ambitious new GCC policy aims to attract 500 more centers by 2029, with plans to create 350,000 jobs and add $50 billion to the economy. The state also positions itself as a world-class hub for AI research tailored to GCC needs, underlining its commitment to innovation.
Looking beyond Bengaluru, the government’s “Beyond Bengaluru” initiative aims to spread GCC growth to other cities in Karnataka. Places like Mangaluru, Mysuru, and Hubballi-Dharwad are primed to become the next tech hubs, replicating Bengaluru’s success across the state.
The ET GCC Annual Conclave 2024 will delve into these developments and more. Attendees can expect in-depth discussions on how GCCs are shaping India’s global business presence, the crucial role of government partnerships in fostering GCC growth, and the transformative impact of AI and emerging technologies on GCC operations.
