While the country’s biggest IT companies have sharply slowed hiring, global companies are expanding their India-based Global Capability Centres, or GCCs. These centres, run by multinational corporations, handle technology, analytics, digital services, finance, research, development and strategy for parent companies around the world. Unlike traditional IT services firms, which thrived on mass entry-level recruitment, GCCs focus on roles in AI, cloud, data, cybersecurity and advanced programming. The shift underlines how the future of tech hiring in India is increasingly about skill depth. This is where the future of tech jobs is being created in India,” says Kapil Joshi, chief executive of Quess IT Staffing, a specialist tech recruitment firm.
