IKEA – Transforming GCC Workspaces into Inspiring Hubs

As India continues to host one of the largest Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystems in the world, the workplace itself is emerging as a strategic differentiator. With nearly two million professionals employed across India’s GCCs, these offshore hubs have evolved from back-office support centers to innovation and decision-making powerhouses. Today, they drive digital transformation, product design, and global operations, making the design and functionality of workspaces more critical than ever.
More than Just an Office

For GCCs, offices are no longer merely spaces to sit and work—they are environments that spark ideas, foster collaboration, and reflect organizational culture. As hybrid work models become the norm, employees increasingly seek workspaces that minimize distractions, support well-being, and inspire creativity. Research shows that while 76% of India’s workforce is expected to work in hybrid models, 63% of offices are not fully equipped to meet these needs.

Elements such as ergonomics, natural light, acoustic comfort, and biophilic design are no longer optional—they are essential for attracting and retaining talent in competitive GCC landscapes
