GCCS are building AI talent internally by reskilling: Report
A report by Quess Corp indicates that Global Capability Centres in India are prioritizing internal reskilling to meet the growing demand for AI and digital talent. While Bengaluru remains the primary hub, Hyderabad is emerging as a significant center for specialized tech roles.
Why it matters
This trend highlights how major corporations are adapting to the AI talent shortage by investing in their existing workforce rather than relying solely on external recruitment.
India’s Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are increasingly creating AI and digital talent internally by enabling professionals with adjacent technical skills to transition into the emerging technology roles, rather than relying solely on external hiring, according to a new report.
Released by staffing solutions firm Quess Corp based on the firm’s internal data and secondary sources, the India GCC Tech Talent Landscape – Q1 FY27 Report suggests the industry’s preference for “ready-to-deploy” talent over broad-based hiring.
“Backend Developers are moving into Applied AI Engineer roles, Data Scientists into ML and Model Operations Engineering, Data Engineers into AI Data Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineers into Platform Engineering, QA Automation Engineers into Autonomous QA Engineering, Cybersecurity Analysts into Cloud Security Engineering, and DevOps Engineers into DevSecOps Engineering,” said a statement from Quess Corp, suggesting an increasing focus on specialisation.
