The numbers say it all: According to the economic survey report tabled in the parliament, GCCs are already set to contribute 3% to India’s GDP by 2030. Moreover, Inductus’ industry research based projections indicate that by 2040, the sector’s total economic value could reach as high as $450 billion, contributing 7.10% to the GDP. Far more important, this growth is a powerful engine for national employment. From the current base of approximately 2 million resources, we project that the sector will deploy 3.5 million human resources by 2030 and an unprecedented 8 million by 2040. This is not just a growth story; it is a fundamental shift in India’s economic narrative, placing GCCs as the backbone of the nation’s future as a global technology superpower. The discussions here have laid the strategic groundwork to achieve this vision."
