The CapitaLand GCC Leadership Roundtable 2026 brought together senior business leaders, Global Capability Centre (GCC) decision-makers, government representatives, and industry experts for an afternoon of focused discussions on the evolving GCC landscape in India, Pune's emergence as a GCC destination, and the future of workplace strategy.

The leadership roundtable created a focused platform for policy perspectives, industry insights, workplace strategy discussions, and executive networking, bringing together multiple stakeholders shaping Pune's growing GCC ecosystem.

NextGenInnov8 Events managed and executed the event end-to-end, overseeing the planning, coordination, production, guest management, technical requirements, session flow, and on-ground event operations.

Exploring Pune's Growing GCC Ecosystem

A key focus of the CapitaLand GCC Leadership Roundtable 2026 was the changing landscape of Global Capability Centres in India and Pune's growing role as a destination for GCC expansion.

The event brought together perspectives from government, business, technology, real estate, facilities, data centres, and HR leaders, creating an environment for cross-industry conversations around the opportunities and challenges shaping the GCC ecosystem.

The discussions explored areas including:

India's evolving GCC landscape
Pune's emergence as a GCC destination
Policy and government support
Infrastructure development
SEZ benefits
Workplace strategy
Occupier expectations
Technology and business operations
Future ecosystem development
Keynote Perspectives on GCC Growth

The roundtable featured keynote addresses by Shri Shubham Gupta, Managing Director, Western Maharashtra Development Corporation, and Smt. Mital Hiremath, IDAS, Joint Development Commissioner, SEZ Pune Cluster.

Their perspectives provided insights into the policy environment, infrastructure development, state initiatives, and SEZ benefits relevant to organisations considering or expanding their GCC presence.

The keynote sessions helped establish the broader context for the discussions that followed, connecting policy and infrastructure perspectives with the needs of businesses operating within the GCC ecosystem.

Panel Discussion: India's Evolving GCC Landscape

One of the key sessions focused on:

“India's Evolving GCC Landscape & Pune's Emergence as the Destination of Choice”

The panel brought together senior representatives from organisations including OPmobility, Panasonic Avionics, NCS India, ArcelorMittal Global Business and Technologies, and Kimberly-Clark.

The discussion provided an industry perspective on the evolution of GCCs in India and the factors influencing Pune's position within the wider GCC ecosystem.

By bringing leaders from different organisations onto one platform, the session created an opportunity to exchange perspectives on business growth, talent, infrastructure, operations, and the broader evolution of GCCs.

Panel Discussion: Future Workplace Strategy & Occupier Expectations

A second panel focused on:

“Future Workplace Strategy and Occupier Expectations”

The discussion brought together perspectives from leaders across technology, facilities, real estate, data centres, and HR.

The conversation explored how changing workforce expectations and business requirements are influencing workplace strategy and occupier needs.

This cross-functional discussion highlighted the importance of bringing multiple stakeholders together when examining the future of corporate workplaces and commercial environments.

HIA Presentation: Hinjewadi's Growth & Future Development

The event also featured a presentation by HIA, covering key milestones in the development of Hinjewadi, ongoing infrastructure and ecosystem initiatives, and the roadmap for future enhancements.

The presentation provided attendees with additional context on the evolution of Hinjewadi and its role within Pune's wider business and technology ecosystem.

Networking & Executive Engagement

Following the formal sessions, attendees continued conversations over hi-tea and networking.

The networking segment provided senior leaders, speakers, government representatives, business professionals, and other stakeholders with an opportunity to exchange ideas, continue discussions from the sessions, and build professional connections.

For an executive roundtable, these informal interactions formed an important part of the overall experience by extending conversations beyond the formal agenda.

With senior stakeholders, focused discussions, multiple speakers, and limited-format networking, every element—from venue setup and technical production to guest management and session transitions—needs to support the quality of the conversation.

The CapitaLand GCC Leadership Roundtable 2026 brought policy perspectives, industry insights, workplace strategy, and executive networking together on one platform.
