In a bid to tap into the growing demand for Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India, IT major Wipro is planning to set up a dedicated GCC service line. This move comes as the company looks to catch up with peers like Infosys and Cognizant, which have already established themselves in this space, the Business Standard has reported.
According to the report, Wipro’s GCC service line will enable clients to leverage the company’s expertise in establishing and operating GCCs in India, utilizing a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model. Under this model, Wipro will set up and manage the GCC for a multinational company, before transferring the entity back to the parent company after a few years.
The BOT model is expected to ensure a smooth transition and operational efficiency for the GCCs, allowing companies to tap into Wipro’s expertise in managing complex operations. The move is seen as a strategic play by Wipro to tap into the growing demand for GCCs in India, driven by the country’s skilled talent pool and favourable business environment.
Wipro’s entry into the GCC setup and management services market is expected to intensify competition in the space, where other Indian IT majors such as Infosys and Cognizant already have a presence. The development comes as India’s GCC sector continues to attract multinational companies looking to set up centers in the country to drive innovation, digital transformation, and business growth.
India has emerged as a hub for GCCs, with many multinational companies setting up their centers in the country to take advantage of its skilled talent pool, favorable business environment, and cost-effective operations. The GCC sector in India is expected to drive innovation, foster economic growth, and facilitate knowledge transfer, making it an attractive proposition for companies looking to establish a global presence.
