India’s premier residential, invite-only conference for Global Capability Center (GCC) leaders is returning to Goa this winter. Following the success of the June 2025 edition—the first residential gathering of GCC executives in India—the 7th edition of MachineCon GCC Summit promises to bring together visionaries, decision-makers, and pioneers to shape the future of GCCs in India.
Why MachineCon GCC Summit Matters
Global Capability Centers have evolved from cost-centric support functions to hubs of innovation, strategic decision-making, and global growth. Today, GCCs play a pivotal role in enterprise transformation, driving digital acceleration, operational excellence, and organizational scale.
The summit’s residential format provides a unique environment for high-level exchange, combining three days of learning, networking, and strategy with the intimacy of an invite-only gathering. Over 100 GCC leaders from diverse industries convene to share challenges, discover opportunities, and forge collaborations that influence global operations.
Legacy of Past Editions
The June 2025 edition set a high benchmark, featuring a blend of business, cultural, and thought leadership. Notable speakers included:
- Boman Irani – Actor
- Jonty Rhodes – Former Cricketer
- Devdutt Pattanaik – Mythologist
- S. D. Shibulal – Former MD & CEO, Infosys
- Sunil Gupta – Co-Founder & CEO, Yotta Data Services
Government and industry perspectives were represented by Seeram Sambasiva Rao (IAS), Kerala’s Department of Electronics & IT, and senior executives from Genpact, NTT Global Data Centers, and Virtusa.
This combination of voices fostered a holistic dialogue—a tradition that continues into the 2025 edition.
Summit Theme & Program
The 2025 summit theme, “Accelerating GCC Growth in India”, reflects the sector’s rapid evolution. Over three days, participants will engage in sessions covering:
- Navigating Through Uncertainty: Adapting to economic shifts, regulatory complexities, and global disruptions.
- The Future of Work and Talent: Building resilient talent ecosystems, fostering diversity, and reimagining hybrid and remote work models.
- Strategic Technology Investments: Cloud evolution, cybersecurity, AI adoption, and superapp development.

Each session is designed to provide practical insights, real-world case studies, and actionable strategies for GCC leaders.
