Companies have long relied on globalization to diversify their talent pool, drive innovation, and recession-proof their businesses. Setting up Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in global talent hotspots is crucial for de-risking and building a defensible moat. GCCs offer cost savings, efficiencies, improved customer experience, flexibility, scalability, and innovation opportunities. Zinnov has identified India, China, Canada, Poland, and Mexico as top global talent hubs with mature software engineering ecosystems. These locations also foster vibrant startup ecosystems, serving as talent pipelines. Embracing globalization and a multi-hub strategy is essential for companies seeking to recession-proof their organizations and stay competitive.
