India’s Global Capability Centre ecosystem is entering a decisive phase. GCCs are no
longer satellite delivery units, they are becoming strategic engines driving
innovation, ownership, and global outcomes. Responding to this shift, Talentiser has
launched the GCC Circle, India’s first invite-only leadership community exclusively for
senior GCC decision-makers.
The GCC Circle is designed to bring together the people who are actually shaping
the future of GCCs, site heads, COOs, CHROs, talent and transformation leaders, and
ecosystem partners who operate at scale and influence outcomes globally.
Who the GCC Circle is for
The GCC Circle is built for senior GCC leaders who value depth over noise. This is not a
mass network or a visibility play. It is a curated, practitioner-led community where
conversations focus on real operating challenges, leadership transitions, talent
strategy, governance, and the evolving role of India in global enterprise value chains.
Members are people who build centres, scale mandates, manage complexity, and
influence global strategy. The community is intentionally invite-only to preserve
relevance, trust, and quality of dialogue.
The vision behind the GCC Circle
The long-term vision of the GCC Circle is to help position India as the world’s most
strategic, innovation-led GCC destination, not just the largest. The focus is on
creating shared intelligence across the ecosystem, enabling leaders to learn from
each other’s experiences, successes, and failures in a rapidly changing environment.
By fostering peer learning, collaboration, and thought leadership, the GCC Circle
aims to shape how the next decade of GCC growth is defined.
League of Legends & Titans
A key pillar of the GCC Circle is the League of Legends (senior tech leaders) and
League of Titans (senior talent specialists), a recognition platform that spotlights
GCC leaders who are quietly but decisively shaping the future of India’s GCC
ecosystem. It celebrates leadership impact, not popularity, and recognises those
building enduring capability and scale.
Early momentum, Hyderabad to Bengaluru
The GCC Circle’s first major milestone came with the GCC Circle Mixer in Hyderabad
in December. The closed-door gathering saw strong participation from senior GCC
leaders and validated a clear need for a focused, high-trust forum where leaders
could exchange insights without posturing or panel fatigue.
Encouraged by the response, the GCC Circle is now gearing up for its next mixer in
Bengaluru on 13th February, with over 80 GCC leaders already confirmed.
Bengaluru remains at the heart of India’s GCC ecosystem, hosting some of the
country’s most mature centres across technology, BFSI, product engineering, and
R&D.
To further strengthen the ecosystem, the GCC Circle has partnered with Scaler
School of Technology for the Bengaluru edition.
“Bangalore continues to be at the heart of India’s global capability
centre ecosystem and platforms like the GCC Circle Mixer play a vital role
in shaping its future.
At Scaler, we are proud to partner with this initiative to enable
meaningful dialogue between industry leaders, innovators, and talent.
Together, we aim to strengthen the GCC ecosystem through knowledge
sharing, strategic partnerships and sustained talent development.
We look forward to engaging with leaders, learning from peers and
contributing to the growth of a resilient, globally competitive GCC
community.”
- Abhimanyu Saxena – Co-founder, at InterviewBit and Scaler
Talentiser’s perspective
From Talentiser’s point of view, the GCC Circle is not an event series, it is ecosystem
infrastructure.
*“At Talentiser, we believe the future of India’s GCC ecosystem will be
shaped by deep collaboration between industry leaders, innovators, and
talent. Platforms like the GCC Circle create the space for meaningful
dialogue, shared learning, and strategic partnerships that go beyond
transactional networking.
We look forward to engaging with GCC leaders, learning from peers, and
contributing to the growth of a resilient, globally competitive GCC
community.”*
— Ravi Wadhwa, Founder, Talentiser
What’s coming next
The GCC Circle’s expansion roadmap includes upcoming mixers in Delhi in March
and Pune in April, extending the community’s reach across key GCC hubs in India.
Each gathering will continue to be tightly curated, ensuring relevance and
meaningful engagement remain central as the community grows.
Why the GCC Circle matters now
As GCCs take on larger global mandates, own end-to-end products, and influence
enterprise strategy, leadership alignment and shared learning become critical. The
GCC Circle positions itself as a trusted platform where leaders can think collectively
about what comes next, talent, operating models, technology adoption, and
long-term competitiveness.
It is designed to complement, not compete with, existing forums by staying focused
on leadership depth, real-world experience, and future-facing conversations.
