India's Global Capability Center (GCC) ecosystem is undergoing a major transformation, evolving from cost-efficient delivery hubs into strategic innovation engines for multinational enterprises. The sector is projected to grow at a 10–12% CAGR through 2030, with the market expected to surpass $100 billion in value. Increasing investments in AI, digital engineering, cybersecurity, product development, and enterprise transformation are pushing GCCs up the value chain, while emerging regions across Eastern Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa are intensifying global competition. 

Against this backdrop, Mohith Mohan, founder and CEO of MOAR Advisory, shares his perspectives on the future of GCCs, AI-driven transformation, BOT models, India's competitive advantages, DPDPA compliance, and what it truly takes for a centre to evolve from a Global Capability Centre into a Global Innovation Centre.
