Fresh from pay surveys, GCC research, job boards and hiring outlooks. Every one links back to where it came from, so nobody can say you made it up.
Different surveys ask different people in different ways, so the numbers wobble a bit. White bars are all-India figures; red bars are GCC-only.
How the numbers have moved over time, from the same publishers each year. Hover or tap for the exact figure.
Quick reads, each with a “so what” at the end.
GCC hiring rose 11% in H1 2026 to 227,991 hires, and about two in three new roles need AI, data or automation skills (Nasscom–Zinnov). Not every centre is expanding: Reuters reported that some have cut hiring plans by 30–50%. So what: plan for fewer, more senior and more technical hires per centre.
The four Labour Codes took effect on 21 November 2025, and the DPDP Rules were notified on 14 November 2025 with duties phasing in over 12–18 months. Aon found 65.4% of employers compliant with the Wage Code. So what: recheck offer structures against the 50% wage rule and map how you store candidate data.
GCC hiring in tier-2 cities grew 23% year on year, with attrition of 8–12% against 18–22% in tier-1 cities (Nasscom–Zinnov). Coimbatore grew fastest of the cities foundit reported for 2025, at 24%. So what: build city-tier pay bands and local sourcing maps before the first hire.
75% of employers plan to hire freshers in H2 2026, up from 73%, but IT intent fell from 81% to 76% (TeamLease EdTech). AI application developer is among the most sought entry-level roles. So what: test skills in the assessment, not CGPA at the gate.
57% of employers planning to hire say they now hire faster than a year ago, largely due to AI (ManpowerGroup), and 44% of organisations use AI tools in hiring (Taggd). So what: tell candidates where AI touches their application, and audit every AI-assisted shortlist.
Figures from published reports. Full sources are listed at the end of the page.
Five different measures side by side. Each comes from a different survey, so compare cities down a column, not across.

No government source publishes hiring counts city by city, and job boards keep listings to themselves. So we lean on published monthly indices and say clearly what each one can and cannot tell you.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Naukri JobSpeak | Monthly hiring index from Naukri’s own listings | Major metros | Main yardstick for city and sector moves | In use |

| National Career Service (data.gov.in) | Government open data | State and pin code | Public-sector, small-firm and informal demand | Not yet used |
| EPFO payroll reports | Monthly counts of people added to formal payrolls | State and zone | Sanity check on formal job growth | Not yet used; newest figures we found were from 2025 |

Compiled from news reports and company releases, so some details are company claims that have not been independently verified. Headcount figures are plans announced at launch, not confirmed hires. This is a selection, not a complete list: Zinnov counts 2,117 GCCs in India, and more than 100 open each year. Rows marked ⓘ carry a note.
Approval-committee agendas and minutes from India’s SEZ zone offices, and other public filings, list companies seeking new units with projected investment and jobs.

The names vary by industry and by decade, but they describe the same idea: a global company running its own centre in India instead of outsourcing. Signal India tracks all of them, so you will see banks’ in-house centres next to tech and retail ones.
The common modern term. Engineering, analytics, finance, HR and operations for the parent, often with an AI or product mandate.
In-house centres of banks, insurers, asset managers and payments firms (BFSI). Typical work: technology, risk, compliance, operations and data. Examples are in the tracker below.
The term many banks and consumer companies use for the same thing. We list GICs as GCCs.
Usually an engineering or R&D site set up earlier. When one grows into a wider business role, it is treated as a GCC.
One trade blog (V3 Staffing, March 2026) says there are more than 190 BFSI GCCs in India employing over 540,000 people, attributing both to unnamed industry reports. We have not verified the figures, so treat them as rough.
Centres that closed, shrank or got sold, what went wrong, and what TA teams can take from it. Set against 2,117 GCCs and around 100 new ones a year, these are a small share, but the reasons repeat.
Built from news reports. Companies rarely explain closures in full, so the reasons are as reported or as analysts describe them, not company statements unless marked. Job figures are reported estimates. The Cambium report relies on unnamed staff. “Lesson for TA” is TalentRubric’s view.
Double-check dates and venues on the organiser’s site before you book.
Pick a sector, pop in an annual CTC, and see what Aon, EY and Mercer expect, in actual rupees.
| Source | Increase | On your CTC |
|---|
Survey averages, not individual offers, and not compensation advice. The sources cover different years (Aon forecasts 2027; EY and Mercer project 2026) and different samples. Sector names follow each survey, so “Tech” in Aon (consulting and services) is not the same group as EY’s “Hi-tech/IT”. Mercer reports only a few sectors publicly. Rupee amounts are simple arithmetic on your CTC for illustration.
Public salary data, side by side: engineers in three big hubs, then what TA teams themselves earn. Handy for sense-checking an offer.
Self-reported data from Levels.fyi and PayScale. It leans towards tech employers and people who choose to report, and the TA samples are small. “Total pay” includes stock and bonus, so it is higher than fixed CTC. Use these as ranges, not as a benchmark.
₹ lakh a year. Bar = 25th to 75th percentile, red tick = median. All levels.
Same scale. The gap between entry and senior is the point.
₹ lakh a year, base pay. Bar = 10th to 90th percentile, red tick = median. Small samples.
Recent public benefits benchmarks we could trace are thin, so we show the ones we could verify.
Look it up yourself: Levels.fyi · AmbitionBox · Glassdoor · PayScale. Check two or more before you quote a number.
What each rule means for your team and what’s still coming. It’s a plain-English summary, not legal advice, so check the official notice before you act.
Official sources: the Ministry of Electronics and IT (meity.gov.in) for DPDP, and the Ministry of Labour and Employment (labour.gov.in) and your state labour department for the Labour Codes.
Tap one to see why it matters for your team, and which roles are already popping up.
The six cards are TalentRubric’s view from advisory work. The figures under them come from the surveys named, and role names are illustrative.
Sourcing agents now build long lists from Naukri, LinkedIn and internal ATS data overnight. The recruiter’s job moves to judging fit and selling the role.
Evidence: about 85% of Indian organisations say AI or agentic AI is transforming their hiring.
When a model shortlists, someone has to explain why. GCCs with EU parents should note that EU AI Act rules for hiring AI now apply from 2 December 2027, including human oversight and risk management.
Structured interviews with anchored scores beat panel instinct, and AI makes calibration across hundreds of interviewers practical.
Evidence: 77% of Indian professionals say hiring has too many stages, and 66% find it impersonal.
Job titles mean different things in a services firm, a product startup and a GCC. Skills taxonomies let you hire across all three.
Evidence: Deloitte notes AI usually changes what a job requires rather than its title.
India’s data protection rules make consent, purpose and retention a TA problem, not just a legal one. Your ATS is now a compliance system.
JD drafts, outreach, scheduling and debriefs all get a first draft from AI. Teams that set prompts and quality bars centrally move fastest.
Evidence: 74% of recruiters say qualified candidates are harder to find than a year ago.
Roles to watch. LinkedIn’s Jobs on the Rise lists prompt engineer, AI engineer and software engineer among the top roles in demand in India. Deloitte’s campus report gives examples such as AI-enabled product manager, machine-learning engineer, data scientist and legal-tech specialist.

Signal India is made by Shravan Kumar Shesham, founder of TalentRubric Growth Advisors in Bengaluru, who advises GCC and TA leaders across India, Singapore, the UAE and the US. He was on the founding teams at AJIO and Kore.ai and held senior roles at Deliveroo, CredCore, JP Morgan and Bank of America. Find him on LinkedIn, and follow TalentRubric on LinkedIn.
We use figures published by pay-survey firms, GCC researchers, job boards, staffing firms and business media in the last twelve months. Each figure carries its source and date. Where a number reached us through news coverage, we name the outlet. Where sources disagree, we show them side by side.
We don’t publish figures we can’t trace, invent forecasts or let sponsors touch the numbers. Our own views, like “Why it matters” and “Lesson for TA”, are labelled as ours.
News and company moves are added every day as we find them, each with a source link. Every Monday we also read the public filings that reveal centres before the press does: SEZ approval-committee agendas and minutes, the stock-exchange filings of flex-office operators, registered office leases reported from transaction records, and state-government MoU releases; what we find goes in “From the filings” on the GCCs page. Figures and trends are checked monthly, reviewed, then published. Stories older than four months move to the Archive instead of being deleted. Mistakes are fixed and listed below.

For HR and TA leaders whose company is opening a centre in India for the first time: a global capability centre (GCC), a captive, an India development centre or a first engineering team. Each step gives the sourced facts, then what we would do.
A starting guide, not legal, tax or immigration advice. Rules change and differ by state, so check each point with Indian counsel and a payroll provider before you act. “Our view” lines are TalentRubric’s opinion. Every figure carries its source.
Settle what the centre will do, how much the India leader can decide alone, and how big it should be in year one and year three. Zinnov advises spending a few weeks on this before any operational work, and puts a focused set-up at about 3 to 6 months to become operational, or 6 to 12 months for a larger centre.
Our view: the charter decides the hiring plan. A centre set up “to save cost” hires differently from one set up to own a product, so agree this with the parent before anyone writes a job description.
Most multinationals use a wholly owned subsidiary set up as a private limited company. IT services, software, business process work, consulting, R&D and shared services allow up to 100% foreign investment under the automatic route, so prior government approval is generally not needed, though reporting to the Reserve Bank of India is. Branch, liaison and project offices exist for narrower purposes.
The other route is build-operate-transfer (BOT). A partner sets up and runs the centre in India under its own entity, hires the team, and at an agreed point transfers the people, assets and know-how to your own subsidiary.
It runs in three stages. Build: the partner finds the office, sets up the infrastructure and hires the first team. Operate: the partner runs the centre for an agreed period while your own managers take over the work and the direction. Transfer: people, contracts and assets move to your subsidiary, ideally with no change in pay or service for employees.
Our view: BOT gets a first team working sooner and leaves entity paperwork and early hiring to people who know the market; you pay for that in partner fees and less control in the early years. A direct captive takes longer to start but is yours from day one. Companies entering India for the first time often start with BOT; those that already run teams here usually go direct. If you choose BOT, agree before signing how and when employees transfer, who sets their pay until then, and what happens to people the partner hires.
Bengaluru holds about 34% of India’s GCC talent, Hyderabad 14%, Pune 13%, Chennai 12%, Mumbai 11% and Delhi NCR 10%. GCC hiring in September 2026 grew 23% year on year in Hyderabad, 13% in Chennai, 11% in Pune and 3% in Bengaluru. In tier-2 cities, GCC hiring grew 23% and attrition runs at 8–12%, against 18–22% in tier-1 cities.
Compare all the cities side by side in City signals on the Numbers page.
Our view: hire the first leaders where the senior talent already is, even if later teams go to a cheaper city. A tier-2 site works best as a second location with a clear mandate.
Karnataka, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have dedicated GCC policies. Tamil Nadu offers incentives for GCC employees, Telangana and Delhi have policy frameworks, and Kerala has a draft. Seven of these states together target about 1,380 new GCCs and 1.18 million jobs by 2029–31, including about 500 centres and 3.5 lakh jobs in Karnataka.
The details vary a lot. Gujarat’s 2025–30 policy, for example, reimburses lease rent at the lower of actual rent or ₹50 per sq ft for five years, partly reimburses salaries and employer social-security contributions, and requires at least 50 people on payroll. Special Economic Zones are still an option, though their tax benefits are smaller than they were. Space is competitive: GCCs took 41% of India’s office leasing in January to September 2026.
Our view: read the eligibility rules before choosing a building. Payroll-linked incentives often need a minimum headcount and local hiring by a set date, which belongs in the hiring plan.
India’s four Labour Codes took effect on 21 November 2025. Under the Code on Social Security, Provident Fund applies to every establishment with 20 or more employees, Employees’ State Insurance now covers the whole country, and fixed-term employees earn gratuity after one year instead of five. Allowances above 50% of total pay are added back to “wages”, which changes how a CTC (cost to company) offer is built. Lawyers also list the gratuity and POSH (prevention of sexual harassment) laws among the employer basics.
Our view: have payroll, the offer-letter template and the salary structure signed off before the first offer goes out. Zinnov makes the same point: HR set-up should be ready before the first offer letter. States add their own registrations, so ask your payroll provider for the list for your city.
Employers forecast an average 9.1% salary increase across India for 2027. GCCs were projected at 10.4% for 2026, the highest of any sector, and skills in GenAI, machine learning and advanced analytics command a base pay premium of 30–40% or more. GCC attrition was 16% in 2026.
Try the pay checker and the public salary data on the Pay and rules page.
Our view: benchmark against other GCCs in the same city, not against IT services firms or your home country converted at today’s exchange rate. Set the bands in rupees, and review them every year.
Experienced people in India often cannot join quickly. Almost one in three IT roles carries a 90-day notice period, by one magazine’s analysis, while across the organised sector 54% of jobs have one month or less. Zinnov advises having the India leader in place before the first team joins, and a first hiring wave weighted towards senior people.
Our view: count a senior hire’s start date from the day they accept, plus their notice period, plus a cushion for counter-offers. Budget for notice-period buyouts on critical roles, and keep in touch with accepted candidates until they join.
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules were notified on 14 November 2025, with duties phasing in over 12 to 18 months. GCCs also need to check cross-border data transfers against both Indian and home-country rules, and follow CERT-In’s cybersecurity directions.
Start with the candidate data notice in our templates, and see the rules tracker for dates.
About 30% of GCCs set up since 2021 have plateaued, and 80% have less than 10% of their leadership roles in India, according to figures reported by Business Standard. Read the closures and sales, and why they happened, in When GCCs stall or shut.
Our view: a centre with no senior roles in India struggles to win bigger work. Put some leadership roles in India from the start, and give them real decision rights.
