GCCs Could Pose a Potential Threat to Indian IT
Cognizant and Infosys have called out competition from GCCs in India.
- By Mohit Pandey
Since last year, tech giants like Infosys, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra have been actively teaming up with multinational companies to help them set up their global capability centres (GCCs) in India. What once felt like a competitive threat turned out to be a strategic win for these IT giants.
Now, however, the tables have turned. Indian IT isn’t too pleased about losing top talent to the very GCCs they helped establish.
Cognizant, for example, has raised concerns about potential risks stemming from GCCs operated by its clients in its 2024 annual report. The concern is that these centres could overshadow the outsourcing work that the Indian IT firms do in India. The concern is particularly significant, considering Cognizant has around three-fourths of its employees in India.
