Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026

GCC India Leaders' Dialogue | GILD 2026

“Transitioning from GCCs to GIEs by 2030”

Jointly curated by KDEM and NASSCOM

India's Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem is at a defining moment. Over two decades India has become one of the world's leading GCC destinations. The centres are no longer confined to execution and operational support: they are becoming strategic hubs that drive innovation, shape enterprise priorities and influence global business outcomes.

The inaugural GCC India Leaders' Dialogue brings together senior industry leaders, GCC heads, technology executives and policymakers to examine that shift and the opportunity for India, with candid conversations on the future of the ecosystem, emerging business models, leadership priorities and the enablers needed to accelerate the move from GCCs to Global Innovation Enterprises (GIEs).

For Karnataka, it is a chance to reinforce Bengaluru as a global technology and innovation hub while extending GCC benefits to emerging cities. The 2030 ambition: move beyond capability delivery to creating IP, driving enterprise transformation and becoming a strategic partner in shaping global business.
