A landmark global forum for GCC leadership and strategy. Companies worldwide evaluating their GCC strategy, in the room with senior GCC practitioners and heads of government, live.
In India this year? Register for our 20 November Hyderabad summit.
The room that brought together the leaders building India’s Global Capability Centres. One landmark day of candid, unscripted conversation.
After Pune, the GCCPROs Leadership Summit moves to Hyderabad. An exclusive room of GCC leaders, built for the conversations that decide where GCCs go next.
Tier 1 academic institutions are invited to partner.
On 11 August 2026, GCCPROs convened its biggest gathering yet at Conrad, Pune, a closed-door, vendor-free forum where GCC Site Heads, Country Heads and Domain Heads sat with the country’s top policymakers. From the ceremonial lamp-lighting to frank panels on talent, innovation and what’s next, it was a day built on real conversation, not pitches. Here is how it unfolded.
Policymakers and administrators who joined India’s GCC leaders on stage.

Minister of Industries, Maharashtra
CEO · STC, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh
A day of ceremony, candid dialogue and connection, captured as it happened.

In their own words, from what they wrote on LinkedIn in the days after — site heads, country heads and managing directors, on the room, the conversation and the people who built it.
Thank you. It was an event well organised.
Excellent event. Lots of connects, made many new friends today. Shammi and team, kudos to your efforts.
A great collective voice we built with our peer networks. Kudos to GCCPROs and Shammi to pull this together in such a short time. #WhyNotPune
Superb summit. Thanks to all the organisers and people who made it happen.
The event was well organised.
Great work Shammi, GCCPros and the organising team, for this well-crafted event. Very thoughtful in bringing attention to the Pune tech ecosystem. Privileged to be there. #WhyNotPune
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.
A huge thank you to the entire GCCPROS team for putting together such a well-curated Leadership Summit, and for assembling panel discussions that went well beyond the usual GCC talking points. Events like this are what move the ecosystem conversation forward.
A special thanks to Shammi Prabhakar Singh for the flawless execution of the event. Keeping more than 100 leaders engaged throughout the day is no small feat!
Leadership isn't built in boardrooms alone, it's built in rooms like this. Grateful to GCCPROS and the entire team led by Shammi Prabhakar Singh for curating a summit that was as substantive as it was inspiring.
Senior GCC leaders from across industries and Government officials in the same room, leading to open and honest conversations. Heartfelt thanks and congratulations to Shammi Prabhakar Singh and the entire GCCPROS team for orchestrating such a remarkable and successful summit.
My sincere thanks to Shammi Prabhakar Singh and the GCCPROS team for bringing together such a distinguished group of leaders and creating a platform for meaningful dialogue.
Feeling truly honoured, humbled, and inspired after spending the day engaging with fellow industry leaders on some of the key topics shaping the future of the GCC industry.
Some genuinely open conversations about the next decade of GCCs. Thanks to Shammi Prabhakar Singh and Adv. Nilesh Deshmukh for organising this. Exciting times ahead for Pune's GCC landscape.
The summit provided an excellent platform to engage with industry leaders. It was truly inspiring to witness the alignment of government vision with industry aspirations.
I appreciated the candid discussion between industry and government on AI, future-ready talent, academia partnerships, infrastructure and ease of doing business. Encouraging to see the willingness to listen, adapt policy and engage directly with industry.
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.
Well planned and organised event. Looking forward to more events from GCCPROs.
Great event, well conceptualised, planned and executed. Looking forward to continued engagement with GCCPROs and all member GCC 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.
Thank you for putting together a Summit that raised the bar. Building panels that went beyond the standard GCC playbook takes real intent. It's this kind of thoughtful convening that genuinely pushes our GCC ecosystem forward.
What I did not expect was how quickly the room made me feel at home. I came away with a group I am still speaking to a week later. For a first event at this scale, the hospitality and organisation were very good.
Government and industry working the same problem, in rooms like that one. My thanks to GCCPROs, Advocate Nilesh Deshmukh and Shammi Prabhakar Singh for convening the day, and to my fellow panellists for a candid exchange.
My gratitude goes out to Shammi Prabhakar Singh and the entire GCCPROS team for orchestrating an exceptionally well-executed summit. It was a privilege to be part of these conversations.
Honest conversations among top GCC leaders on the growth of the GCC ecosystem clearly made this a highly valuable forum.
The next chapter of the GCC story is not about scale alone; it is about impact. Thank you to GCCPROS and Shammi Prabhakar Singh for the opportunity, and to fellow panelists for an engaging conversation.
It was a privilege to hear diverse perspectives from GCC leaders on innovation, AI, talent, responsibility and the evolving role of GCCs. Thanks Shammi Prabhakar Singh and GCCPROS.
Thank you, GCCPROS, and Shammi Prabhakar Singh, for putting together such a wonderful event and bringing this conversation to the room.
