The Architecture of Impact: Building GCCs That Matter

What does it really take to build a world-class Global Capability Centre, one that transcends cost savings and starts influencing enterprise value? 

In this episode, we get honest about the tough truths and deeper levers of GCC evolution, from flat organisation dreams to tall structures, from push-and-pull growth cycles to the power of local leadership in global networks. 

In This Conversation we discuss: 

• Why organisation design can make or break your GCC 

• Navigating the India vs global grading conundrum 

• The subtle trap of promotions and hierarchy inflation 

• EVP decoded: A three-layer framework (finances, emotion, intellect) 

• Push vs Pull models in scaling: What changes when the global team starts to "pull"? 

• How to move beyond transactional value to real enterprise impact 

• Why India GCCs can be mini-multiverses, and how local leaders must act as the glue 

• Innovation, digital transformation, and why RPA changed the game in 2015 

• The evolving metrics of success: From cost arbitrage to revenue enablement 

Featured Insight: 
"Unless India leaders are at the table, their voice doesn’t travel. Pull only happens when that seat is earned, and used well."
