"GCCs: Thank You for Embracing Indian Talent and Benefits"

 

Innovation, efficiency, and excellence—their name is GCC in India.
Doesn't sound sexy? Can't help!
What about GCCs in China? How much do we know about them, their success, failures and best practices?
Do they claim to be doing the same magic there?
Honest definition of a GCC anywhere-
A Global Capability Center (GCC) is a dedicated "offshore center" of a large enterprise that carries out a variety of "operations," including research, innovation, and "back-end support.".
Don't lose sight of the words like; Operations and Back-end Support work! 😀
GCCs in India are 4-decade old phenomena (Texas Instruments GCC dates back to 1984), still going strong!
Cheaper, faster, and better has become, efficient, innovative, and excellent!
From a low-cost destination to now more than 100 GCC staff in India getting more than a $1 million in annual salary in India.
Of the 1700 GCCs in India, how many do you think really have done innovation for the world? Many, right? But no one knows, in what area the Indian GCCs a strong contender than other GCCs of the parent company in other countries? Is it Aerospace and Engineering, Is it Modern warfare technology, Is it Chip development? Is it Modern drugs and vaccines? Is it EV tech, especially on Long-haul Li-On batteries? What is it?
Does AIM ,ANSR , Zinnov nasscom, Xpheno, etc. know which GCCs in India are leaders in Innovation for the globe? 1.6 million staff and a history of 4 decades must have brought our GCCs to this level for sure!
I am not interested in Efficiency and Excellence factors, if they have come without any Innovation that changed the world of business, in their space!

30000 people work for a GCC Optum, that AIM features here...
How many of them are doing innovative work?
Many GCCs are just result of In-sourcing not innovation or even excellence!

Many of these GCCs listed in this AIM report use scores of Indian service providers for maintenance and upkeep of their services! GCCs as many of these mentions, keep "Core" work within GCCs and rest is outsourced to Indian Service Providers! Interesting, isn't it? 

Should we not call many of these GCCs, just Off-Shore centers of the MNCs?

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are more than just operational hubs—they’re the backbone of innovation in India, driving technology and generating employment across industries. These specialized centers have transformed India’s corporate landscape, and at the helm are visionary leaders guiding their organizations to global success while adapting to India’s dynamic market.

This listicle shines a spotlight on these influential leaders who are not just steering operations but also pioneering innovation, efficiency, and technological advancements that ripple through India's economy.

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Why Organizations are so BAD at Talent Management? A curious case below..

Founded in 2019 in South San Francisco,   ProcDNA has grown 2x in 24 months....from 100 to 200 as of Feb 25th as you see the snapshot below. I was looking at their India staff data looking actively for jobs as evident on Naukri.com, a leading job portal in India. For past 30 days, 39 staff in India looking out actively. If you check for past 2 months, this number inflates to 49. Median tenure of staff here is 8 months.  What interests me are the following: 27 jobs posted on LinkedIn and 9 out of them are just repetitions. Same job posted many times (5x at times).  There is only 1 Director level job is up there as far as senior open roles are concerned. Many jobs have titles like Senior/Associate/Assistant Engagement Lead, etc.  Below are 4 senior staff in key roles who are active on Naukri.com , looking for next job.  What's wrong here? Nothing....they are just looking out...:) ....But that's a self fulfilling thought, right, especially when you are the co...
