Your industry

Is India your next GCC destination?

Global centres in India began with software and back-office work. Today they design vehicles, model risk, manage clinical data, verify chips and plan supply chains. Choose your industry to see what centres here do for companies like yours, and where to start looking.

The regions named for each industry are illustrative and in alphabetical order. They are a place to start a conversation, not a ranking, and nothing here suggests that any particular company is considering India.

Twelve industries, one question. Choose yours.

A country that has put spacecraft into Mars orbit and onto the Moon’s south polar region also engineers aircraft for the world.

What centres do

  • Aerostructures and systems engineering
  • Avionics and embedded software
  • Simulation, testing and digital twins
  • Maintenance analytics and technical publications
  • Supply-chain management
