After Pune, the summit moves to Hyderabad. A day with GCC leaders, built around the decisions they are actually making.
We talk about what is not working, not only what is. That is rather the point of the day.
Tier 1 academic institutions are invited to partner.
Our first summit outside India. Companies planning a GCC anywhere in the world, meeting senior GCC leaders and government officials face to face.
A day with the people who actually run India’s GCCs. Closed doors, no vendors, and site heads and country heads sitting with the state’s senior ministers. From the lamp-lighting to frank panels on talent and innovation, the day was built on real conversation, not pitches.

Great event Shammi! Congratulations to you and the whole team behind making this such a huge success. And like we said, this is just the beginning.
Great effort to bring us all together. Bringing the CM, Deputy CM and Industry Minister onto one platform to interact with the GCC network is a big step.
Super event, what an execution, so flawless, and what value delivered. No sales pitch, real conversations, and intriguing questions on Menti and panel discussions.
A huge thank you for organising the Summit in Pune. The sessions were insightful and engaging, and what stood out most was the clear message from the government to grow the ecosystem.
Great event. More meaningful than most other GCC events. Well done Shammi and team.
Great event Shammi, thank you for curating this opportunity and getting us and the policy makers together. Looking forward to the next one already!
One closed-door room, no scripts, no fluff. You don't get many rooms where the people setting policy and the people running these centers on the ground talk to each other directly. This was one of them.
Thank you Shammi for the wonderful event, well coordinated and organised. Proud to be part of this.
Thanks Shammi and team for a wonderful and well-organised event. Looking forward to staying connected with all leaders.

Indeed a lovely event. Loved that we spoke reality and skipped the fluff. Thanks for the amazing organisation.
Thank you Shammi and the team for this great event. The best part was the opportunity to speak the honest reality. The talent survey via Menti was an amazing way to bring out reality. #WhyNotPune
Thanks Shammi and team for a much-needed event in Pune.
Thank you for putting together such an exceptional gathering. The icing on the cake was the authentic atmosphere: no sales pitch, just real conversations with great peers.
Amazing event Shammi, thank you for making us a part of it. Looking forward to the next event!
What a truly impactful and well-curated event. Bringing GCC leaders and Government dignitaries together on the same platform was both bold and meaningful. Here's to many more editions!
A thoughtfully curated event with very engaging conversations, and a great opportunity to connect with leaders across the GCC ecosystem. Energy, attention to detail and seamless execution.
Indeed a finely strategised and meticulously executed event. Thanks for having me on the delegate list!
A big appreciation to Shammi Prabhakar Singh and the entire GCCPROS team for creating this platform, a practitioner-led forum where the conversation is about what actually works, what doesn't, and what needs to change.

No. The summits are vendor-free by design. Pune was a closed-door, vendor-free forum and the format has not changed, because people only discuss what is not working when nobody present is selling something. Tier 1 academic institutions are invited to partner.
