The room spoke volumes!
When industry leaders, innovators, and policy thinkers come together around one powerful idea — the future of Global Capability Centers in India — the energy is undeniable.
Our event "Indo-American GCCs in India: Way Forward – Challenges & Opportunities" was more than a conversation — it was a confluence of perspectives. From the thought-provoking panel discussion and candid fireside chat on “Scaling GCCs: From Cost Centres to Global Value Creators” to inspiring keynote addresses, every moment was packed with insights that matter.
A special thanks to our esteemed speakers for their invaluable insights and real-world perspectives:
Thyagu Valliappa, Shyam Karigiri, Samir Venugopal, Sonu Gupta, Guruprasad Krishnamurthy, Suprotik Das, along with Chandrakant B N and Manoj Ladi for the engaging fireside chat.
A special mention to Gerald Manoharan for his valuable insights on GCCs and the role of IACC in strengthening the Indo-US ecosystem.
Your perspectives on scaling GCCs, talent, and transforming them into global value creators truly enriched the discussion.
The enthusiasm in the room reflected exactly why the GCC ecosystem is one of India's most exciting growth frontiers — and why this dialogue couldn't be more timely.
To every speaker who shared their expertise, every partner who believed in this vision, and every participant who showed up ready to engage — thank you. This was your success as much as ours.
A special acknowledgment to our CEO, Thyagu Valliappa, and the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce leadership team for steering this initiative with purpose and conviction.
Heartfelt thanks to Amrita Tiwary for her exceptional coordination and seamless execution of the event.
A big shoutout to Team SCALE – Sona Centre for Advanced Learning and Entrepreneurship for the outstanding teamwork in organizing this event successfully — Suresh Rao, Dr. Venugopal, Dr. Sheelan Misra, Akhil Narayanan, Chakradhar, Alok, and Deeksha — your efforts truly made this event a success.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to our partners — Karnataka Digital Economy Mission as our strategic partner, and Clarity Communication as our media partner — for their valuable support in making this initiative impactful.
The connections forged here, the ideas sparked in that room — they will shape how India positions itself as the global hub for capability and innovation.
