My Article with GCC Pulse

German engineering. Indian innovation. A quiet transformation.

German engineering. Indian innovation.

A quiet transformation.

Germany’s engineering prowess is globally recognised, but German companies are increasingly driving innovation not from Stuttgart or Munich, but from Bengaluru, Pune, or Hyderabad.

I had the great opportunity to contribute to GCC Pulse™, a leading media platform on the Global Capability Center (GCC) ecosystem, and share some insights on the Indo-German landscape.

Here’s what I covered:

➡️ German GCC landscape: From the number of GCCs and employees to their growth trajectory, I started off with some data from our recent Zinnov report.

➡️ Examples of successful GCCs: What type of innovation do companies such as SAP, Airbus, Zeiss, Siemens Healthineers, and Knorr-Bremse drive from India?

➡️ Existing challenges of German companies: Understanding pain points and context is crucial, so here are some of them.

➡️ Why German companies benefit from GCCs: It’s not an outsourcing solution, and often misunderstood. So I share the clear advantages of this model.

➡️ Now is the time: Why it’s the right time to think of being present in and drive innovation from India.

German companies are discovering India's innovation capabilities.

There are clear synergies, but it’s underreported. That was also a key takeaway of last week’s discussion with business representatives, nasscom, Bitkom, and others at the Embassy of India in Berlin.

Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to your platform Susheel Kumar.
