In a strategic move to redefine India’s position as a global enterprise hub, PossPole and MJC GlobalTech have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to build an integrated ecosystem for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), combining advisory, talent, and infrastructure to attract and scale multinational operations across India’s technology corridors.
- MoU to integrate GCC advisory, talent solutions and infrastructure under one ecosystem
- Focus on attracting global enterprises into India’s tech corridors with built-to-suit spaces
- Thought leadership push via global bodies, CHRO roundtables and GCC-focused podcasts
- Nano, micro GCC models emerge as future—lean teams, high-value IP and agility at core
The partnership aims to synchronise market development, human capital strategies, and infrastructure advisory to create a seamless entry and expansion framework for global companies.
Highlighting the broader vision, M R Shashidara said, “The alliance introduces a multi-faceted workstream focusing on ecosystem advocacy and thought leadership, including leadership roundtables and podcasts tailored for CHROs and GCC heads.” He added that collaboration with global bodies such as Global Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Global Council of Global Business Services would strengthen outreach and global engagement.
Under the pact, MJC GlobalTech will leverage its GCC expertise to promote PossPole’s specialised sectors—including manufacturing, medtech, fashion, and agriculture—while also serving as a strategic manpower partner. The initiative will connect global investors with PossPole’s portfolio of built-to-suit industrial spaces and land assets.
Explaining the evolving GCC landscape, Kiran Rudrappa said, “As the GCC ecosystem matures, a significant shift is occurring toward nano and micro GCC models, which prioritise specialised intellectual property, agility, and strategic fragmentation over large back-office setups.”
These next-generation GCCs are designed to be lean and innovation-driven. Nano GCCs typically comprise “fewer than 20–30 highly specialised experts working on niche technologies like AI, robotics or medtech,” while micro GCCs function as “innovation nerve centres enabling rapid prototyping and market-specific solutions without heavy administrative layers,” he explained.
Echoing this outlook, Tahir Hussain said, “The future of these models in India is bright, as they allow global enterprises to access premier technology corridors with a lean and efficient approach, distributing specialised functions across innovation hubs.”
The collaboration underscores a broader transformation in India’s GCC ecosystem—from scale-driven operations to high-value, innovation-centric clusters—positioning the country as a preferred destination for global enterprises seeking agility, talent, and domain expertise.
