This December, the MachineCon GCC Summit 2025 returns for its seventh edition as an exclusive, invite-only residential event designed for leaders of Global Capability Centers (GCCs). Set against the idyllic backdrop of Alila Diwa in Goa, this three-day gathering (November 29–December 1) invites GCC heads, strategists, and visionaries to explore how these centers are propelling growth, innovation, and responsible ecosystem impact.

Following the success of the June edition, this summit builds on that momentum with richer programming, deeper conversations, and exclusive peer networking. As GCCs expand their footprint in India, the summit delves into how these leaders can accelerate growth while championing resilience, inclusive talent, and community-driven outcomes.

Themes & Programming

MachineCon GCC Summit 2025 centers on “Accelerating GCC Growth in India.” Core themes include cross-border collaboration, regulatory incentives, talent development, and sustainable expansion models. Key topics slated for discussion include:

• Navigating Through Uncertainty: How GCCs are wading through economic disruptions, global turbulence, and shifting business models with adaptive strategies.

• The Future of Work and Talent: Rethinking talent engagement in GCCs by prioritizing diversity, remote/hybrid structures, and a culture of inclusion.

• Strategic Foundations: Deep dives into boardroom engagement, cloud transformation, cybersecurity, agile design thinking, and data‑centric superapp development.
