Elaborating on the findings Neeti Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, of TeamLease Digital said, “Over the past few years, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have emerged as powerhouses of innovation and job creation across industries, especially in Mumbai and Pune where High-Tech and Automotive industries are thriving the most. As GCCs continue to evolve, we are increasingly partnering with them across Mumbai/Pune and other locations to address their demand for niche skills, while also co-creating new job functions.

Sectors like Healthcare, BFSI, and Retail have shown remarkable growth. Between 2021 and 2023, these sectors recorded cumulative compound annual growth rates (CAGR) exceeding 30%. This growth is particularly notable, given that during the same period, the broader IT industry was experiencing a downturn. In contrast, the GCC Software & Internet sector maintained steady progress and is projected to reach a CAGR of 6.2% by 2027. Even more promising is the Retail & E-commerce GCC sector, which is expected to see the strongest growth at 8.4% CAGR, followed closely by Healthcare at 7.5%.

These upward trends signal a dynamic shift in the global workforce, and TeamLease Digital is well-poised to facilitate this growth by connecting GCCs with the best-suited tech staffing + learning solutions that’ll ensure the organization’s readiness to tackle competitive yet niche growth opportunities presented by emerging technologies or newer markets.”
