India is fast becoming the epicenter for global leadership. Global Capability Centers (GCCs) across India have seen a staggering 120X rise in global roles over the past decade. The country now boasts over 5,000 such senior positions steering decision making for their Global HQs. “This transformation is due to the maturing capabilities of India’s centers of excellence and how technology has enabled deeper data-driven customer insights,” notes Pari Natarajan CEO of Zinnov in today's The Times Of India feature. Key to this seismic shift is a rich talent pool of digital, engineering, and leadership skills. As global companies concentrate more critical responsibilities in India across R&D, services, and customer-facing functions, they are also elevating leaders in the country to drive organization-wide strategy. We believe that India is aggressively staking its claim as a global hub for innovation, talent, and leadership. We expect the rise to continue as India cements its status as the epicenter of global leadership. Sujit John | Sarv Saravanan | Chitra Sukumar | Vishal Bhasin #India #GCC #Leadership #talent

However, outdated metrics often fail to capture their true value, creating a significant "Value Gap." By neglecting to update their success metrics, organizations may face: - Missed opportunities for strategic growth - Diminished employee morale and engagement - Difficulty in justifying investments in GCC development Don't let traditional yardsticks limit your GCC's growth. Read our latest blog post to discover why reinventing success metrics is crucial for aligning with the evolving role of GCCs and unlocking their true value: https://bit.ly/3QcOYri 🔗 Karthik Padmanabhan | Nitika Goel (She/Her) | Namita Adavi | Sachit Bhat

From Ahmedabad to Coimbatore, a new chapter in India's tech story is being written. India's tech landscape is evolving, with Tier-II cities emerging as vibrant hubs of innovation and creating their own unique ecosystems of talent and opportunity. Our Managing Partner, Karthik Padmanabhan, offers insight on this trend, the The Times Of India: "Historically, Bengaluru and NCR have been the dominant players in the GCC space. However, the focus is now shifting towards these emerging hubs, propelled by a combination of factors such as the availability of skilled professionals, lower operating costs, and work-life balance." The GCC talent pool in emerging cities like Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Coimbatore, and Chandigarh has grown 26% to 71,000 in 2023-24, from 56,000 in 2020-21.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be sharing a series of articles on M&A insights every week. Today, I'm presenting the first article: "What drives the M&A valuation for tech services companies?" While macro-economic factors and buyer-specific preferences play a role in maximizing value, there are also multiple levers within a company's control that significantly impact M&A valuation. We've identified 8 key factors that, when strategically leveraged, can help a firm prepare to maximize its valuation. The more you align with these high-valuation zones, the higher the probability of securing a top-tier valuation. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and engaging in meaningful discussions! #MergersAndAcquisitions #TechServices #Valuation #BusinessStrategy Zinnov
