Quess Corp has partnered with Japan-based Institution for a Global Society (IGS) and Singapore-headquartered Indo-Pacific Advisory (IPA) to establish an Indo-Japan Global Capability Centre (GCC) corridor, aimed at helping Japanese enterprises set up and scale operations in India across sectors such as artificial intelligence, engineering, cybersecurity, BFSI, and digital transformation.

BMS, the independent insurance and reinsurance broker, today announced the opening of its Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Mumbai, marking a significant step in the group’s strategy to build data, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) capability at scale.

India’s Global Capability Center (GCC) ecosystem is entering a transformative phase, moving beyond its traditional role as a cost-efficiency engine to become a strategic driver of innovation, enterprise value, and digital transformation. According to a joint report by Nasscom and Zinnov, India’s GCC market has grown into a nearly $100 billion ecosystem, with more than 2,100 GCCs employing over 2.36 million professionals. As emerging technologies such as agentic AI and autonomous systems redefine enterprise operations, organizations are increasingly looking at GCCs as hubs for AI-driven innovation, business agility, and large-scale value creation.

The way global capability centres establish operations in India is undergoing a quiet but significant transformation. For years, the standard playbook involved signing long-term leases, investing heavily in fit-outs and committing to office spaces for nearly a decade. Today, that model is rapidly giving way to a more flexible approach.
