India is strategically positioned to capture 35-50% of the estimated $400 Bn. Capability & Innovation Hub market. These centres have come a long way from being mere outsourcing units to cutting-edge innovation centres and value creators. Globally FIs are increasingly shifting operations and capability building to these units- time for Indian FIs to think boldly as well? Hear BCG’s thoughts from my dear friend and colleague Sreyssha George

Moneycontrol covered the latest report by Bain, The India Private Equity Report 2024: "The year 2023 was also significant for Indian exits with the exit value soaring 15 percent to $29 billion, alongside a rise in exit volumes from 210 to 340. This was driven primarily by public market sales (notably block trades) which comprised half of exits by value, benefitting from an increasingly deep Indian public market, which outperformed those of most major economies, with a significant increase in domestic investor participation."

The Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) in India is no longer just a strategist - they’re a dynamic leader navigating a “permacrisis” world of climate change, digital disruption, geopolitical shifts, and economic uncertainty. Our new report, “Beyond Strategy: The Evolving Role and Success Imperatives for the Chief Strategy Officer in India” - a Kearney Collaboration with the Chief Strategy Officer Forum of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) - shows how CSOs have transformed from traditional planners into versatile, “Strategy+” leaders. They must blend visionary thinking with operational precision, drive innovation while maintaining stability, and align diverse stakeholders behind a shared vision. Key takeaways include: * Constant External Pressures: Integrate foresight and leverage mega trends for resilience. * Internal Complexity: Balance short- and long-term goals, challenge the status quo, and gain buy-in without antagonizing stakeholders. * New Capabilities: Employ advanced risk management, scenario planning, and digital tools to orchestrate flexible strategies and high-impact execution.

Global Capability Centers (GCC) have allowed companies to leverage global talent and optimise resources. Impact of GCCs on sustainability can be profound. By streamlining and centralising operations, GCCs can contribute to reducing redundancies, and hence resource (energy, water, land and materials) consumption. GCCs can integrate sustainable practices at lower transaction costs and efforts - sustainable buildings, responsible sourcing, local community engagements, and human capital initiatives. GCCs can further contribute to the wider organisation’s sustainability efforts through sustainable research and development, centralised resource management, and reporting efforts for the entire group across multiple compliance and voluntary standards. It is time for organisations to treat GCCs as an asset in their quest towards sustainable operations.
