The 10th Edition of The Mainstream GCC Converge Summit 2026 was held in Chennai on 11 September 2026, bringing together GCC leaders, CXOs and industry professionals to discuss the evolving landscape of GCC companies in India.
A key part of the summit was the presentation by Mr. Hamsavardhan Mohan, Founder & CEO of Hamly Group, titled “Beyond Metros: Where India’s GCCs Can Grow Next?”
His presentation explored a broader question surrounding the future of GCC expansion: Do businesses always need to look at India’s major metropolitan cities when considering where to grow next?

To hear the complete perspective, watch Mr. Hamsavardhan Mohan’s presentation, “Beyond Metros: Where India’s GCCs Can Grow Next?” from the GCC Converge Summit 2026.
Beyond Metros: Rethinking Where GCCs Can Grow
The GCC Converge Summit 2026 brought together industry leaders to discuss the future of India’s Global Capability Centres and the opportunities that lie ahead.
Hamsavardhan Mohan’s presentation brought another perspective to this discussion: GCC growth can also extend beyond traditional metropolitan cities when businesses consider where talent already exists and the environments that can support long-term growth.
For Hamly | BBS Infraspace, the summit provided an opportunity to bring this perspective to the wider GCC community and place Thanjavur and the Delta Region within the conversation around India’s emerging business destinations.
Building Opportunities Where Talent Already Exists
One of the key ideas behind the presentation was the connection between talent and opportunity.
Skilled professionals are present across India, not only in its largest cities. Many emerging locations have educated and capable talent that can contribute to technology, business operations, finance, analytics and other specialised areas.
Thanjavur is also emerging as a location with potential for technology-driven business growth, creating opportunities for IT companies in Thanjavur and the wider Delta Region to access local talent and build their operations.
The opportunity lies in creating the right environment for this existing talent to grow. Rather than expecting professionals to always move to major cities for career opportunities, businesses can also explore ways to bring new opportunities closer to where talent is already available.
This presents a broader approach to workforce and location strategy, one that considers not only where talent is moving, but also where capable talent already exists.
Expanding the Possibilities for GCC Growth
Hamsavardhan Mohan’s presentation also highlighted the potential of viewing GCC growth through a wider geographical lens.
The idea is not to replace established GCC hubs. Major cities will continue to remain important centres for global organisations and business operations.
Instead, the Beyond Metros approach encourages GCC companies to consider additional possibilities by looking at locations beyond these traditional centres.
As GCCs continue to evolve and take on broader responsibilities across technology, business operations, innovation and specialised capabilities, organisations may have more opportunities to explore different locations for future expansion.
A Different Perspective on Future Expansion
At its core, Hamsavardhan Mohan’s presentation encouraged businesses to rethink the conventional approach to GCC expansion.
India’s strength lies not only in its major metropolitan centres, but also in the talent and potential available across different regions.
By considering talent, opportunity and the right environment together, businesses can explore new possibilities for growth beyond the locations that have traditionally dominated India’s GCC landscape.
This is the thinking behind “Beyond Metros: Where India’s GCCs Can Grow Next?”looking beyond established centres, identifying where future opportunities can emerge and considering how businesses can build around talent that already exists.
