European GCCs in India
Key Takeaways:
370–385 European GCCs, 450,000+ professionals, Europe's India capability base is structurally embedded, concentrated in scaled hubs that function as second headquarters, not offshore extensions.
Hiring rebounded to 206,000 roles in 2025, the highest in three years, reflecting renewed conviction in India as a strategic build location for engineering modernisation and AI integration, not a return to transactional outsourcing.
Engineering and AI together account for over 70% of demand, with AI roles doubling in share from 8.6% in 2023 to 17.4% in 2025. India GCCs now own product platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems.
Bengaluru leads at 29%, with Pune the fastest-growing hub, demand up 67% YoY in 2025. No single city controls majority capacity; European GCCs are building deliberate multi-city resilience across India.
AI/ML engineers earn up to ₹85–110L in Bengaluru, a 25–30% structural premium over backend roles. Compensation benchmarks across 6 role clusters reveal that pay now mirrors mandate criticality, not just seniority.
