Read the GCC pipeline before a requirement is issued.
A GCC needs space after it has hired, and it hires well before a formal requirement reaches a broker.

The detail behind the decision.
Open a chapter for the full context, the evidence to inspect and the limits of the view.
Chapter 01
Which GCCs are entering or expanding?
Build a list of the GCCs that are changing their footprint, city by city.
Read this chapter
New centres, additional sites and expansion announcements are tracked with the date, the city and the evidence. You can see which companies are opening in a city, which are adding a second location, and which have just changed their ambitions for an existing one.
Chapter 02
Where is workforce growth occurring?
Spot the companies whose headcount is running ahead of their footprint.
Read this chapter
Headcount and open roles say more about future space than an announcement does. A centre that is hiring far faster than its peers, or adding a capability that needs senior teams, will outgrow its floor. Growth is shown by company and by city, against the pace of the market.
Chapter 03
What activity can precede a formal office requirement?
Open a conversation with the evidence that a need is forming, and not with a guess.
Read this chapter
Several things tend to come first: a hiring surge in a city, a leadership appointment for a new site, a new capability, a second location listed on a company page. None of them is a requirement and none is presented as one. Each is shown with its date and its evidence so that you can judge how much weight it deserves.
- Hiring acceleration in a city or a function
- A senior appointment for a new site
- A new capability or business function
- A second or third location appearing
Chapter 04
Which locations are attracting new capability?
Judge where the next cluster is forming.
Read this chapter
See where GCC workforce is concentrated and where it is growing, at city and corridor level, and which cities are beginning to attract centres that previously went elsewhere. Peer presence in a city is a reason others follow, and it is visible here.
Chapter 05
The policy environment
Relate a policy move to the companies it could bring.
Read this chapter
State incentives, clearances and the way a state treats GCCs change where companies choose to expand. They are compared state by state next to workforce, so a policy change can be read against the demand it may release.

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.
- CTC
- Cost to company: the annual total an employer commits to one person, shown in lakh rupees. One lakh is 100,000.
- Percentile band (P25, P50, P75, P90)
- P50 is the median: half the people in the sample earn less. P25 and P75 mark the edges of the middle half, and P90 marks the top tenth. A pay figure is always read with its band.
- Build journey
- A documented account of how a comparable centre started: its first city, its first team and how it grew, with each figure cited to its source.
