Hyd leads India’s GCC revolution - The new global value centre for innovation

Hyderabad has once again proved why it is one of India’s fastest-growing technology cities. According to Quess Corp’s latest report “India New GCC Talent Trends 2025”, the city is now leading the country’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) revolution - setting new standards in leadership, innovation, and global value creation.

Hyderabad & Bengaluru: The power duo

The report highlights that nearly 70% of India’s GCC leadership roles are now based in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. These two cities have become magnets for global companies looking to set up innovation hubs, technology centers, and digital operations for their worldwide businesses.

Hyderabad’s rapid rise

Hyderabad alone has recorded a 42% growth in leadership hiring, making it one of the most sought-after destinations for senior technology and operations talent. The report also mentions that leaders in the city earn 6-8% higher pay packages compared to other regions, reflecting the growing demand for skilled professionals in this space.

Innovation at the core

The new-age GCCs in Hyderabad are no longer just back offices or support centers. They are now at the heart of innovation - working on cutting-edge technologies such as:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML)

• Cybersecurity

• Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI)

• Platform Engineering

These centres are helping global companies design new products, develop intellectual property (IP), and lead digital transformation initiatives from India.

From GCC hub to global value centre

Industry experts note that Hyderabad’s journey has evolved beyond being a hub for GCCs. It is now emerging as a Global Value Centre (GVC) - a place where innovation, research, and IP creation take center stage. The city’s strong talent pool, modern infrastructure, and proactive government policies have helped it attract major global players.

Telangana’s role in the digital value chain

The Telangana government’s continued focus on building a strong technology ecosystem has played a major role in this transformation.

From world-class tech parks to startup-friendly policies, Hyderabad offers an environment where both innovation and business can thrive.

The road ahead

With more global companies expanding their operations and new GCCs setting up base in the city, Hyderabad’s growth story is just beginning. The combination of strong leadership, innovative technology, and supportive policies ensures that Hyderabad will remain at the forefront of India’s GCC revolution - shaping the future of global technology and value creation.
