Pune’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem is entering a new phase of acceleration. The CII Pune GCC Forum, established just four months ago, is already emerging as a unifying force—bringing together industry leaders, academia, and policymakers to shape the city’s next decade of growth.
Forum’s Core Mission
The CII GCC Forum is designed to create a structured, collaborative platform that enables GCCs to scale efficiently and move up the value chain. Its key priorities include:
- Building Pune into a strategic global hub for engineering, R&D, AI, and digital operations.
- Sharing best practices to enhance operational maturity across GCCs.
- Developing leadership pipelines and future-ready digital talent.
- Enabling cross-industry collaboration for innovation and problem-solving.
Pune’s Rising Influence in the GCC Landscape
Pune continues to grow as a preferred location for global enterprises due to its:
- Strong engineering and technology talent pool
- Mature innovation ecosystem
- High concentration of universities and research institutes
- Well-established presence of automotive, BFSI, and digital-first GCCs
This combination positions Pune as a hub for advanced work—not just support functions, but core product engineering, analytics, and research mandates.
Strategic Roadmap Ahead
The forum is currently working on a long-term action plan that includes:
- Talent upskilling partnerships with universities and corporate academies
- Creation of sector-focused innovation clusters
- Policy inputs to strengthen ease of doing business for GCCs
- Platforms for leadership forums, culture-building, and capability sharing
This structured approach aims to help multinational organizations expand faster and deepen their India-first innovation strategies.
Outlook: Pune as a Next-Gen Innovation Hub
As GCCs continue to scale in complexity and impact, the CII Pune GCC Forum will play a catalytic role in shaping Pune’s transformation into a next-generation global innovation hub.
With stronger collaboration, advanced R&D focus, and a future-ready workforce, Pune is well on track to becoming one of India’s most influential GCC cities.
