NTT DATA Launches GCC Innovation Acceleration Program to Support Innovation Creation by Global .....
NTT
DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, announced
the launch of its GCC Innovation Acceleration Program. This is designed to
support global companies in rapidly establishing and scaling their strategic
offshore hubs in India, including Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and other
innovation and delivery hubs. Launched in October 2025, the program aims to
support more than 50 companies over the next three years.
The
global demand for highly skilled IT personnel has grown, and companies are increasingly
using offshore locations to meet innovation needs. NTT DATA identified India as
a standout market to launch the GCC Innovation Acceleration Program due to its
abundant talent and strong technical capabilities.
India’s
Global Capability Centre ecosystem, delivering IT services and back-office
functions to multinationals, is poised for strong growth of nearly 70%,
targeting $110 billion in 2030 from the current $65 billion, according to our recent report. The report also forecasts more than 2,500 centres
and a workforce of nearly 4.5 million professionals by 2030.
Avinash Joshi, Executive Managing Director,
India, NTT DATA adds, “While GCCs in India are becoming global innovation
engines, enterprise-scale AI adoption is still in its early days. Fewer than
20% of GCCs use AI as a core capability today. NTT DATA brings the expertise,
platforms and global innovation ecosystem needed to help organisations rapidly
scale AI and unlock tangible business value.”
By combining its advanced technologies with the knowledge
cultivated at its global bases, NTT DATA aims to not only improve operational
efficiency in the short term but also enhance long-term competitiveness and
create new value. NTT DATA has already advanced various initiatives at GCCs and
other innovation and delivery hubs in India, including Unilever GCC Hub
Bengaluru India, where it supported the formulation of a global innovation
strategy and promoted the utilization of R&D advanced technologies.
Amit Tawani, Lead IT Manager, R&D IT,
Unilever GCC Hub Bengaluru India commented, “We are pleased to collaborate with the NTT DATA India
Innovation Centre to deliver transformative solutions that empower our Global
R&D teams. This partnership allows us to harness advanced technologies,
streamline innovation processes and deliver future-fit solutions for Unilever
globally.
NTT DATA is also working with DENSO INTERNATIONAL INDIA PVT. LTD.
on Digital Platform Development for Mobility Circular Economy and Integrated
Manufacturing*1 and with a leading global automotive company to
drive innovation through digital twin technology and process improvements.
