Read the workforce and the skills behind the headcount.
Headcount tells you how big a centre is. Hiring activity tells you what it is building next, and skill premiums tell you what the market is paying for. CapSight puts the three side by side by function, city and seniority.

Workforce & Skills, in four parts.
Each part is something the product does today, with the data it uses named on the page.
Where the workforce sits
Reported centre headcount by city and company, and the shares of the market each hub holds.
What is being hired
Job postings attributed to GCCs, by function, job family, role group, experience and seniority, with the cities and industries behind them.
How the mix moves
Month-on-month paired bars show this period against the previous one for every breakdown, over 30, 60 or 90 days, or six and twelve months.
What a skill is worth
The pay uplift for skills such as Generative AI, Machine Learning and Agentic AI, for the market, a function or a company.
The market, company by company.
Every GCC on the list has a profile, and every profile rolls up into the cities, industries, skills and pay layers you filter by. Start from the whole market and narrow to one company, or start from one company and see the market around it.

Top employers
Which centres are posting the most.
Ask the question the way you would ask a colleague.
These are the kinds of questions this page is built for. Each one is answered from the data on it, not from a general model of the market.
Which functions are hiring the most across GCCs, and has that changed over the last 90 days?
Which cities lead for data and AI roles?
How is senior hiring changing compared with early-career hiring?
Which companies are posting the most roles in a city?
Which skills carry the highest premium in the market, and how sure are we?
How big is a company's reported workforce in each hub?

The terms on this page, defined.
Every figure on a CapSight page comes with its definition, so you never have to guess what a number is counting.
- GCC
- A Global Capability Centre: a centre a company runs in India for its own global work, such as engineering, analytics, finance, operations or support. It is part of the company, not an outside vendor.
- Platform Industry
- The one industry grouping CapSight uses for every company, so a filter or a chart means the same thing on every page. There are 10.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities
- Tier 1 is the eight established hubs: Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Every other city is Tier 2.
- Operating centre
- A company's presence in one city. A GCC with centres in three cities has three, which is why centres outnumber GCCs.
- Setup year
- The year a company set up its India GCC, where it is recorded: 1,895 of 2,500 companies have one. It is the basis of the setup eras the skyline shows.
- Median and percentiles
- The median (P50) is the middle value: half the sample sits below it. Percentiles show the spread around it, so a median is never quoted without its band.
Before you ask.
Does hiring activity equal demand for people?
It measures employer activity in postings. It does not by itself say how easy a role is to fill.
Where history is short, what do I see?
The periods that exist, with a note on when history begins. Nothing is filled in.
Can I filter by several cities?
Yes. City, industry and seniority accept several values at once.
