Tech Mahindra is taking aggressive steps in its growth strategy by capitalizing on the thriving Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem in India. As part of its three-year "Project Fortius," the IT major is partnering with Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. to set up a world-class GCC in Hyderabad. The project will generate close to 3,000 jobs in R&D and IT operations, reflecting Tech Mahindra's focus on driving innovation and employment.
Key Highlights:
Strategic Emphasis on GCCs: The new GCC will consolidate Goodyear's worldwide R&D and IT functions, mirroring Tech Mahindra's shift towards in-house tech centers for global customers.
Employment Generation: The project is in line with India's expanding GCC ecosystem, which already accommodates more than 1,700 centers, and will make a significant contribution to employment generation.
CEO Mohit Joshi’s Vision: Since joining in 2023, Joshi has prioritized organic growth and operational efficiency, aiming for a 15% operating margin by FY27.
India’s GCC Boom: Hyderabad emerges as a hotspot for GCCs, second only to Bengaluru, thanks to its skilled workforce and cost advantages.
This move underscores Tech Mahindra’s role as a key player in India’s IT transformation while positioning itself as a preferred partner for global enterprises.
