June 30, 2025The Global Capability Center (GCC) market continues to grow steadily at ~6% YoY, fueled by access to scalable talent, favorable cost structures, mature ecosystems, and low entry barriers. As GCCs evolve beyond traditional service delivery, they are increasingly becoming innovation, capability development, and enterprise transformation hubs. This shift presents a significant opportunity for providers. Enterprises are seeking end-to-end support across the GCC lifecycle. Providers are key in establishing GCCs through Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), assisted/virtual, and joint venture models. Additionally, they enable access to talent through staff augmentation and managed services. There is strong momentum around GCC transformation, with providers helping to reimagine processes, technology, and functional operations. Strategic carve-outs and GCC acquisitions represent another area where providers are actively engaged. To capitalize on these opportunities, providers are increasingly aligning with client expectations across capabilities, commercials, culture, and compliance. In this report, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the offshore and nearshore GCC landscape and strategic implications for providers.

Sep. 17, 2024As Global In-house Centers (GICs) gain prominence worldwide, enterprises are increasingly leveraging providers to optimize their in-house delivery capabilities. This focus has become even more critical in today’s challenging economic environment, where enterprises face significant pressures related to talent and cost management.

As enterprises navigate the market to identify the ideal partner for their GIC setup needs, they encounter options ranging from major global providers to specialized local firms.

Aug. 13, 2024On August 5, 2024, Bangladesh faced a major political crisis when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country. Hasina, who has led the Awami League Party and served five terms in office, resigned amid escalating public discontent and political unrest, which has reportedly claimed over 400 lives. The announcement sparked both widespread celebration and incidents of violence, prompting military control. In the aftermath, Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus was appointed the interim government’s chief advisor. This interim administration is responsible for restoring stability, managing the transition of power, and preparing the country for the upcoming national elections. Many companies in Bangladesh have shut operations or asked employees to work remotely. Additionally, halted exports and supply chain disruptions will further increase challenge for firms operating from Bangladesh. This Risk Radar Newsflash highlights the concerns for firms in the backdrop of the Bangladesh’s political crisis and the urgent need to move operations from the country.

April 19, 2024On April 13, 2024, Iran launched an unprecedented aerial attack on Israel. Israel’s air defense system and its allies intercepted nearly all the weapons. Iran claimed that its first-ever attack on Israel from its soil was in response to Israel’s attack on its consulate in Syria’s capital Damascus on April 1, 2024. This aggressive action, compounded by the escalating Israel-Hamas conflict, increases the risk of a full-scale regional war in the Middle East. Many global services companies in Israel have shut down operations temporarily or asked employees to work from home, which will further increase challenges for global services firms operating from Israel and the Middle East. This Risk Radar Newsflash highlights the concerns for global services firms in the backdrop of the Israel-Iran conflict and the urgent need to move operations from the two countries.
