Overview
Global enterprises are transforming in response to the dawn of an intelligence-first era and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are leading the way.
The GCC 4.0: Co-Creating India’s Innovation Powerhouse Summit marks a pivotal moment in this transformation, as GCC and industry experts, as well as technologists, academics and leaders of the startup ecosystem come together to exchange insights. Together, they'll explore the role AI-powered GCCs serve as innovation hubs that advance deep-tech capabilities at scale.
In partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and grounded in our decades-long legacy of tech leadership, HCLTech-the event's principal sponsor, brings global visionaries together to reimagine the role of GCCs in the GCC 4.0 era, where intelligence, talent and technology converge to power the next chapter of global growth.
Businesses across industries are at an inflection point and this event is designed to help them meet the moment. Together, we can shape the future of GCCs, as they accelerate AI adoption and unlock sustained business value at scale.
