Infrastructure management is undergoing a fundamental shift, transforming how assets are planned, built, and operated. While governments across the world are grappling with aging assets, tight budgets, and sustainability demands, real-time solutions are becoming critical enablers of this change. One of the main catalysts that is helping bridge the gap between innovation and implementation is offshore technology centers. It is no longer just about cost arbitrage. The narrative has shifted dramatically from offshore development to innovation-driven partnerships, with India emerging as a central player.

Unlike sectors such as finance, healthcare, and retail, which operate on a global scale, infrastructure is very area-specific, requiring localized expertise. This makes collaboration between Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and local stakeholders essential. Over time, GCCs have evolved into sophisticated technology hubs that help combine advanced tech, including artificial intelligence (AI), with regional insights, driving functions from research and engineering to product development, operations, and business intelligence. Additionally, India’s unique advantage in terms of its talent, domain expertise, efficiency, and favorable government policies continues to be a game changer.

The scale and sophistication of India’s technological transformation are evident in the numbers. The country hosts over 1,700 GCCs, employing nearly two million professionals and generating $64.6 billion in annual revenue (
