About ‘GCC Summit 2026’

India’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have evolved from delivery and support functions into integral components of global enterprise strategy. With expanding mandates across technology, innovation, data, AI, cybersecurity, and product development, GCCs are increasingly contributing to enterprise wide value creation and decision making. As global organisations navigate heightened complexity, rapid technological change, and the need for resilient operating models, GCCs in India are playing a critical role in driving transformation at scale. This evolution also brings sharper focus on future ready talent, leadership development, scalable infrastructure, and governance frameworks that can support long term growth.

Against this backdrop, Dun & Bradstreet’s GCC Summit 2026 will bring together GCC leaders, senior corporate executives, policymakers, and ecosystem partners to explore the structural shifts shaping the next phase of GCC growth in India.

Agenda

  • How are GCCs evolving from execution centers to owners of strategic and innovative outcomes, and what enables or constrains this shift?
  • How are GCCs influencing enterprise-wide product roadmaps, platform strategies, and patent pipelines? Can you share examples where GCC-led innovation has shaped global business outcomes?
  • How are next generation technologies (cloud, data platforms, digital engineering, automation, emerging tech) enabling faster product innovation and IP creation in GCCs?
  • As GCCs gain greater autonomy, how are data privacy, data ownership, and trust being embedded into product and platform design?
  • As GCCs transition into product owners and strategic partners, what new or emergent risks arise from this changing business model? (IP exposure, accountability, regulatory risk, commercial risk, brand impact) and how are enterprises redefining governance, decision rights, and accountability to manage them?  
  • Which AI use cases are delivering the most measurable impact across efficiency, cost, revenue growth, innovation, and customer outcomes in GCCs today? (Context with real examples)
  • How are GCCs prioritizing and curating the right data for specific AI use cases, especially those driving growth, innovation, and enterprise impact? (data relevance, usecase alignment, business value)
  • As AI scales across geographies, how are GCCs managing fragmented data landscapes legacy systems, regional data silos, and crossborder data constraints to enable enterprisewide AI impact? (data fragmentation, integration, and global scale)
  • As AIled autonomy increases, where must human oversight remain critical to manage operational, regulatory, and reputational risk?
  • How are GCCs moving from isolated AI initiatives to enterprise-wide platforms that consistently scale productivity, innovation, and reuse across functions and regions?
  • How should enterprises measure success of AI initiatives across efficiency, growth, innovation velocity, and longterm business impact?
  • How are GCCs designing multilocation and global delivery models to scale with speed and resilience?
  • What role do infrastructure and real estate strategies play in enabling flexible, future ready GCC expansion while supporting evolving workforce models and employee experience?
  • As GCCs expand globally, how are leaders planning talent scalability hiring, leadership depth, and capability readiness across new and existing locations?
  • How are GCCs managing M&A integration when acquired or merged centers operate across different locations and geographies? (Operating models, talent integration, culture, and continuity)
