From users to enablers to builders: India’s global business journey has been transformative.
Global brands didn’t just set up operations here. They became part of India’s cultural and economic fabric. Nestlé shaped food habits, Hindustan Unilever became a household name, IBM and Coca-Cola redefined markets, and Texas Instruments sparked a tech revolution.
Once cost-saving back offices, GCCs are now hubs of innovation, strategy, and leadership, driving AI, automation, and digital transformation. No longer just supporting global businesses, they’re shaping them.
