Shared Services and GCC Week India 2025 | IQPC | 21 April 2025 | TBA, India

A huge thank you to everyone, to our attendees, speakers & sponsors of the second event. Your presence made this event a tremendous success, and we are honoured to have had the opportunity to bring together India’s Shared Services, GCC & GBS professionals from across the industry. Over the course of that week, we had the chance to engage in insightful conversations, network with peers, and learn from some of the most innovative and accomplished leaders in our field. It was a truly inspiring week to see so many of you come together with a shared passion for driving progress and innovation in the industry.

Having navigated a pandemic, a recession, and political unrest, multinational corporations continue their race to the top with the help of robust shared services. The Indian shared services market is growing at a rapid pace. With a jump from 70% to now 115% in new GCC set ups, the focus has shifted from cost arbitrage to value arbitrage. The future belongs to those who can harness ‘digital’ and turn that into a competitive opportunity.
