The 16th edition of the Zinnov Awards 2025 has recognized 20 trailblazing organisations and leaders for scaling innovation, talent, and impact from India to the world. The awards celebrated India’s Global Capability Centres (GCCs) that are driving tangible global impact and shaping the enterprise landscape. 

This year’s edition saw over 500 nominations from 230+ companies, spanning the Technology, Healthcare, BFSI, Automotive, and Retail sectors. Following a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process, 22 winners across 10 categories were chosen by a jury of global business and technology leaders.

With over 2,975 GCC units and India contributing US $65 billion in annual revenues, many of these centres have evolved from support units to fully integrated strategic centres — owning product charters, building enterprise-grade AI, and creating future-ready talent ecosystems.

“Global Capability Centres are no longer satellites — they’re the core of enterprise transformation. What we’re seeing now is not evolution, but reinvention — GCCs owning end-to-end charters, influencing global decisions, and delivering outcomes that are directly aligned to the CEOs priorities. In this new era of AI, GCCs are not just adopting technology but owning outcomes, and architecting AI at scale. The 2025 Zinnov Award winners are proof that enterprise value today lies not at headquarters, but where capabilities and impact converge,” said Nitika Goel, Managing Partner and Chief Marketing Officer, Zinnov.

The 2025 edition also introduced new categories such as Excellence in Talent Development & Employee Engagement, High-Impact Global Roles, and Titans in Tech — reflecting the expanding ambition and influence of the India GCC ecosystem.

“These winners exemplify the convergence of talent, technology, and trust,” Goel added. “Their stories signal a clear message: that India is evolving into becoming the brain trust of the modern enterprise.“
