Cost savings and talent pool key drivers for enterprises to establish GCCs in India: Report
Chevron produces crude oil and natural gas and manufactures transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and additives.
“Chevron ENGINE allows us to bring together India's vast pool of exceptional talent with resources and expertise from our global network to deliver affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy for a growing world," said Sahni.
Chevron joins the growing list of multinational companies that are expanding their technology operations in India and tapping into the talent pool in the country, through what are commonly referred to as 'global capability centres' (GCC).
According to a recent study by Nasscom, as of FY2023, India had over 1,580 GCCs, and several GCCs are added every quarter.
Nasscom also noted that access to a wide pool of digitally skilled talent, the drive to adopt new technologies, and the imperative to make greater customer impact are driving the growth of the GCC ecosystem in the country.
Over the next two-three years, the growth trajectory is expected to continue, with a growing number of global players across sectors establishing deep capabilities, building technology centres and transformation hubs, it added.
