The detail behind the decision.
Open a chapter for the full context, the evidence to inspect and the limits of the view.
Chapter 01
A trend is not an event
Know which page to open for which question.
Read this chapter
A new centre announced on Tuesday is a signal. Twelve straight months of faster hiring in the same function is a trend. Reading one as the other leads people to over-react to the week and miss the year.
Market Trends is for the second kind. Live Signals is for the first.
Two pages, two questions
They draw on the same companies; they differ in how much time they look across.

Chapter 02
Where is hiring growing, and which skills are paid more?
Spot a function that is accelerating before the pay for it moves.
Read this chapter
Hiring activity from job postings is shown with its month-on-month change, by function, role and city, with about nineteen months of history in the latest feed. Skills are read the same way: which are appearing in more roles, and which carry a pay premium that is widening.
Chapter 03
How is pay moving?
Judge whether a pay assumption in a plan is still current.
Read this chapter
Pay is a level and a spread, not one number. Read the percentiles for a role over time and against the market, and see where a premium for a skill is opening up. Year-on-year change is on the way; until it is, estimated market figures are marked as such.
Chapter 04
Where is talent moving?
See which sectors are net importers and net exporters of GCC talent.
Read this chapter
Employees joining and leaving GCCs, by industry, and the net. Attrition shows as exits against employees. It tells you which industries are drawing people from others, and which are the source of the talent that other centres hire.
Chapter 05
Which cities and industries are shifting?
Tell a one-off from a shift in the footprint.
Read this chapter
Share of the workforce in the largest city, growth in the second tier, the number of centres set up in recent years by city and by industry. A pattern that holds for several quarters is a change in where the market is going.
Chapter 06
How mature is the market?
Position a plan against the stage the market is in.
Read this chapter
Look at how many GCCs have passed ten thousand people, how many opened in the last few years and how senior the workforce has become. Maturity is the mix of old, large centres and new ones, and it affects what is realistic to plan for.

Definitions for this view
The terms on this page, defined.
Every figure on a CapSight page comes with its definition, so you never have to guess what a number is counting.
- GCC
- A Global Capability Centre: a centre a company runs in India for its own global work, such as engineering, analytics, finance, operations or support. It is part of the company, not an outside vendor.
- Platform Industry
- The one industry grouping CapSight uses for every company, so a filter or a chart means the same thing on every page. There are 10.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities
- Tier 1 is the eight established hubs: Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Every other city is Tier 2.
- Operating centre
- A company's presence in one city. A GCC with centres in three cities has three, which is why centres outnumber GCCs.
- Signal
- A recorded change at a company, such as a new site, a hiring surge or an appointment, with its date and source. A signal is evidence of activity, not of what the company intends.
- Median and percentiles
- The median (P50) is the middle value: half the sample sits below it. Percentiles show the spread around it, so a median is never quoted without its band.
