India Has Thousands of GCCs But Zero Are AI-Native - The Trillion-Dollar Paradox | Front Page

India GCC facts that demand a second look. 2,117 global capability centres. 2.36 million employees. $98.4 billion in revenue. The largest AI hiring base of any GCC market on the planet. And according to the NASSCOM Zinnov report released this month, not a single one qualifies as AI native. Sanjana Gupta, Tech Journalist at AIM, joins Front Page to break down exactly what that means. She explains the critical distinction between using AI tools and being AI native (it is an operating model challenge, not a technology problem), why 80% of the talent sits in India but only 2% of the leadership does, why major architectural and governance decisions are still being made in the home country rather than where the capability actually lives, and why 60% of the current GCC workforce will need reskilling by 2030 with 18% potentially not getting trained at all.
