Pune, India: adesso India has been recognized for its role in India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem, reflecting the broader transformation of GCCs from traditional offshore delivery centres into strategic hubs for technology, innovation and global business operations.
The development comes as global enterprises increasingly expand the mandate of their India-based centres. Beyond accessing technology talent and improving operational efficiency, GCCs are taking on greater responsibility across artificial intelligence (AI), product engineering, analytics, digital transformation and innovation.
adesso India is positioning itself as an end-to-end partner for organizations looking to establish and scale GCC operations in India. Its approach focuses on integrating India-based technology and engineering capabilities with global business objectives, governance structures and technology strategies.
Exasol Technology Hub Reflects the Evolving GCC Model
As part of its GCC initiatives, adesso India highlighted its work with European analytics company Exasol, supporting the establishment and scaling of its technology hub in India.
Through its SaGE (SmartShore AI-Powered GCC Engine) framework, adesso India says it combines India’s engineering talent with European data governance and AI capabilities. The model is designed to enable India-based technology teams to operate as integrated extensions of global organizations rather than standalone offshore delivery units.
The Exasol example reflects a wider change taking place across India’s GCC landscape, where centres are increasingly assuming responsibilities in areas such as product engineering, innovation, data and AI-led transformation.
GCCs Move Beyond the Traditional Offshore Model
India’s GCC ecosystem has evolved significantly as multinational companies increasingly view their India operations as strategic assets.
Instead of focusing primarily on cost optimization and technology delivery, many GCCs are contributing to global product roadmaps, digital platforms, technology strategy, research and development, data analytics and business transformation.
This evolution is particularly relevant for established technology and engineering destinations such as Pune, which offers a large technology talent pool, a strong engineering ecosystem, mature IT infrastructure and a growing presence of multinational enterprises and GCCs.
AI and Innovation Become Key GCC Priorities
Artificial intelligence is also emerging as an important component of the next phase of GCC growth.
As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, their India centres are expected to play a greater role in developing AI-enabled products, data platforms, automation solutions and digital capabilities for global markets.
This means competition among GCC destinations is increasingly shifting from cost efficiency toward capability, innovation, specialized talent and strategic value.
For Pune, the transition presents an opportunity to strengthen its position as a destination for the next generation of technology-led and AI-enabled GCCs.
adesso India’s recognition and its work with organizations such as Exasol highlight this broader transition—from India serving primarily as a global delivery destination to becoming an increasingly important centre for global technology, product development and innovation.
