Elets GCC Future Forum and Awards 2024 | Elets Technomedia | 19 September 2024 | Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru at Embassy ONE, 8, Bellary Rd, Dena Bank Colony, Ganganagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560032, India

India's impressive network of over 1,700 Global Capability Centers and 2 million+ professionals establishes it as a premier destination for talent and technology. With GCCs expected to expand to 26 million square feet by 2027, up from 19.69 million in 2023, the future looks promising. Bengaluru, in particular, stands out, leading the charge with the highest office space absorption by GCCs in India at 4.3 million square feet.

In recognition of the GCCs' growing influence and potential, Elets Technomedia is excited to host the event in Bengaluru this September. This vibrant city not only represents the epicenter of GCC growth but also serves as the ideal backdrop for connecting key stakeholders from industry and government.

The event will provide a dynamic platform to catalyse GCC-led innovation and elevate these centers' roles in digital transformation. It is a unique opportunity to gain diverse perspectives and insights from senior leaders, delving deep into success stories, best practices, and emerging trends within the GCC landscape.
