Why Albertsons Has Chosen India for Retail Transformation
‘It’s not about growing fast, it’s about growing strategically’
- By Shalini Mondal
Recently, Albertsons Companies, an $80 billion US-based food and drug retail giant, launched its Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, marking a step in its technology transformation journey. By tapping into Bengaluru’s deep tech talent pool, the company plans to scale its Indian workforce with the help of ANSR, from 300 to nearly 1,000 employees over the next 18 months.
This move comes as India continues to solidify its position as a global hub for innovation. As of 2024, the country hosts over 1,700 GCCs, employing 1.9 million professionals and generating $64.6 billion in revenue.
The momentum has only grown in 2025, with new entrants such as Feuji, Ferguson, Heineken, MODEC, Assent, Entain, and Sonatype establishing their presence in the Indian market.
