ANSR to set up 200 new GCCs in next 5-year globally including India

Hyderabad, July 12 (UNI) ANSR, a global market leader in setting up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and operating centres, on Saturday said it is planning to set up 200 new GCCs in the next 5 years globally.
Of the 200 new centres, 80 percent of them will be within India, and 20 percent will be in Eastern Europe and in Latin America and Philippines, said the company Founder and CEO Lalit Ahuja.
We inaugurated our new office at Hitech City in Hyderabad on Friday, he said. Currently, we have set up 170 GCCs with Rs 20,000 crore investments in different parts of the country and almost close to 2 lakh employees who work for these 170 different centres.
In the next five years we'll see more emerging tier two cities that will start picking up, he said. The newly inaugurated Hyderabad centre capacity is 2,000.
We're also one of the largest infrastructure companies in India, because every time a GCC comes in, they need office space. He said that we have almost 12 million square feet of space that we manage for these companies in setting up these centres.
Our primary business is helping large global multinationals to set up their centres in locations like India, where we have set up centres in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, and NCR area. He said that we are also actively growing in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), where we are going to set up a GCC with Rs 50 crore-odd investments with a private partnership, and also Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
The Chennai GCC is also beginning with the fourth quarter of 2025, he said.
We recently announced a partnership with the Andhra Pradesh government to set up GCC innovation campus in the Madhurawada IT cluster in Visakhapatnam, and it is actually the first time this centre has been developed under Public Private Partnership (PPP), he said the centre will come up next year and is expected to generate over 10,000 jobs over the next five years.
Without disclosing investments in Vizag GCC centre, he said the Vizag innovation campus will become a preferred destination for leading global enterprises, he informed.
We are also looking to spread our footprint in other states in India – Odisia, Gujara, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, he said. We are adding a new center every 4-5 months because there is so much global demand.
We are the largest in the business; he said that we grew at about 40 per cent every year against 25-26 per cent growth in 10 years back.
We are trying to spend Rs 3,000- Rs 4,000 crore and we totally hire about 12,000 a year in the country and Hyderabad about 5,000.
