More than 5,000 global leaders of MNCs are sitting out of India GCCs. These are not just tech leaders, but also operations’ leaders. Which is why the possibility of a Satya Nadella sitting out of India isn’t far-fetched

In the past decade, as startups have boomed, it has been common to hear experts say: “It’s a matter of time before India produces a Google or Facebook.” That hasn’t happened yet, though we too believe it will, sooner than later.

Today, as global capability centres (GCCs, the offshore tech & business entities of multinational companies) in India surge, we are beginning to hear similar excited words. “Maybe the next Satya Nadella [CEO of Microsoft] is going to be sitting somewhere in Bengaluru,” says Lalit Ahuja, founder & CEO of ANSR, a consultancy that has helped over 100 GCCs establish bases in India.
