India is fast becoming the epicenter for global leadership.   Global Capability Centers (GCCs) across India have seen a staggering 120X rise in global roles over the past decade. The country now boasts over 5,000 such senior positions steering decision making for their Global HQs.   “This transformation is due to the maturing capabilities of India’s centers of excellence and how technology has enabled deeper data-driven customer insights,” notes Pari Natarajan CEO of Zinnov in today's The Times Of India feature.   Key to this seismic shift is a rich talent pool of digital, engineering, and leadership skills. As global companies concentrate more critical responsibilities in India across R&D, services, and customer-facing functions, they are also elevating leaders in the country to drive organization-wide strategy.   We believe that India is aggressively staking its claim as a global hub for innovation, talent, and leadership. We expect the rise to continue as India cements its status as the epicenter of global leadership. Sujit John | Sarv Saravanan | Chitra Sukumar | Vishal Bhasin #India #GCC #Leadership #talent

Private equity firms continue to see big potential in tech services, but their strategies are evolving. Facing valuation challenges and talent shortages, PE players are adopting more sophisticated approaches. These include platform-based growth, strategic consolidation through "string of pearls" acquisitions, and public-to-private transitions to nurture growth away from market pressures. These strategies reflect PE's adaptation to economic uncertainties and rapid tech changes. Firms are prioritizing long-term value creation, exploring niche players and emerging talent hubs, and focusing on digital transformation initiatives. The rise of Generative AI and consolidation in managed services are creating new opportunities, prompting PE to rethink their playbooks. Firms successfully executing these strategies may gain a significant competitive edge in the evolving tech services landscape.
