The number

How many GCCs are in Kolkata?

Kolkata has 39 GCCs, 1.5% of India’s 2,551. It is the largest GCC city in eastern India, and a fraction of the size of the southern and western hubs.

Professional services lead with 7 centres, ahead of enterprise software (6) and industrial engineering (4).

Small in number, not in scale. 5 of them employ more than 5,000 people and 16 are Gen 3, which is a high proportion for a base this size.

How we count. A company that runs centres in more than one city counts once in the national and global totals, and appears in the count for each of those cities. So the city figures add up to more than the national total, and no company is counted twice within one city. A centre operating in Kolkata and one other city appears in both, which is why India’s city figures add up to more than 2,551. 881 of the 2,551 GCCs in India have offices in more than one city.
