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 brought together GCC leaders, senior corporate executives, policymakers, and ecosystem partners to explore the structural shifts shaping the next phase of GCC growth in India.
