India’s GCCs to Add 1.4 Million Jobs, Drive 170 Million Sq. Ft. Office Demand by 2031
A report by Embark surveying 100 Indian GCC leaders projects the sector will generate 150–170 million sq. ft. of new office demand while adding substantial employment. Although most GCC leaders report moving beyond selective AI adoption, productivity improvements remain underwhelming at below 15%, indicating AI benefits have not yet translated into measurable business value. The report notes that 71% of respondents expect broader functional ownership but few anticipate global leadership roles shifting to India; existing GCCs are expected to account for roughly 80% of incremental workforce growth.
Key points
- GCC workforce projected to grow from 2.3M to 3.3–3.7M by 2031
- AI adoption widespread but productivity gains remain below 15%
- 71% expect broader functional ownership; few anticipate global leadership roles
- 150–170M sq. ft. office demand expected over next five years
