#DownloadReport —> Emerging Cities: India's New Frontier for GCC Expansion. For years, India's GCC story belonged to six cities. That geography is expanding and so is the profile of who's building. Emerging cities are no longer waiting in the wings. 220+ GCC units have taken root in Tier II and III cities, employing 86,000+ professionals. Talent pools that were once overlooked are now being actively courted by global enterprises who've realised that the next frontier of capability isn't in Bengaluru, it's beyond it. And it's not just where GCCs are being built. It's who's building them. 610+ emerging enterprise GCCs are now operational. 64% of those established since 2020 are PE-backed. A new class of enterprise is entering the GCC market - leaner, faster, and increasingly conviction-driven. The metros wrote the first chapter. Emerging cities and emerging enterprises are writing the next one.

In 1983, Jim Sinegal and Jeff Brotman opened a single warehouse in Seattle on a simple belief: treat members well, keep costs low, and they'll keep coming back. Four decades later, that same discipline is being built into a capability center in Hyderabad. Costco - a $290 billion membership retailer with over 900 warehouses worldwide and 14.7 million members renewing at nearly 90% - set up its India center in August 2025, and is already scaling toward three-digit headcount. In the latest episode of Great Global Centers, a series by ANSR + LinkedIn, we sit down with Rajeev Mall, CEO, Costco India, on building tech and process together, and why the ambition is to start small but go very big. 🎥 Watch the full episode.

In 1923, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist returned from Canada with permission to produce Denmark's first insulin. A century later, that same mission has scaled to a campus in Bengaluru with 4,000 people. Novo Nordisk - a $42 billion pharmaceutical company operating in over 100 countries, with a century-long obsession with diabetes now extending into obesity and rare diseases - built its India GCC as a core part of that mission, not a side office. In the latest episode of Great Global Centers, a series by ANSR + LinkedIn, we sit down with John Dawber, Managing Director, Novo Nordisk GCC, on what it takes to build for a moment this big, from a base this far from headquarters. 🎥 Watch the full episode.
