LTM rolls out dedicated unit to build AI‑enabled global capability centres in India

LTM has rolled out GCC Origin, a new business unit designed to help companies create, run, scale and modernise global capability centres (GCCs) in India. The new unit turns the earlier GCC‑as‑a‑Service model, launched in July 2025, into a separate operation with its own leadership, sales and delivery teams and a sizeable investment. Shailendra Singh has been appointed head of GCC Origin and will answer to Venu Lambu, LTM’s chief executive and managing director. The launch comes as Indian IT services firms and workforce‑solution providers race to offer specialised help to multinational corporations setting up in‑house technology hubs. Quess Corp introduced its Origint service in June 2025, Infosys rolled out an AI‑First GCC model in November 2025, and Tata Consultancy Services started a Global Value & Innovation Centres unit in June 2026. Cognizant, HCLTech, Wipro, Accenture and Tech Mahindra are also targeting the market through dedicated practices. GCC Origin bundles strategy, artificial‑intelligence tools, technology, talent, infrastructure and ecosystem partnerships. It assists with site selection, workplace and infrastructure set‑up, operational readiness and turnkey facilities across Tier‑1 and Tier‑2 cities. The unit will use LTM’s BlueVerse AI ecosystem to turn new and existing GCCs into AI‑native operations. Clients may pick the full lifecycle or individual services such as Assisted GCC, Build‑Operate‑Transform‑Transfer, Virtual GCC, joint ventures, staff augmentation or Hire‑Operate‑Transfer. “Enterprises now want GCCs to generate value from day one and own capabilities that shape their business, especially through AI,” said Venu Lambu. “Our modular model lets them build, run and transform centres quickly.”

Context

Global capability centres are becoming strategic hubs for innovation, with AI increasingly central to their design. Companies are shifting from cost‑cutting motives to seeking immediate business impact, prompting providers like LTM to offer end‑to‑end, AI‑focused services.
