WACKER’s decision to establish its GCC in the city adds another prominent global organization to Pune’s expanding GCC landscape.

      The development also highlights the increasing role of Pune-based GCCs in supporting global engineering, technology, automation and digital transformation functions, moving beyond traditional IT service delivery toward strategic global capabilities.

      With WACKER’s new center, Pune continues to attract global organizations looking to build specialized technology and engineering capabilities in India, reinforcing the city’s growing importance in the country’s GCC ecosystem.
