A clear example that GCCs today have become tech accelerators or enablers to their main group entity and are driving core Tech strategy development and decisions. Good to see Indian GCCs leading the wave in #AI engineering and advancements. #Artificialintelligence #AI #GCCs #GICs

Dell’s philosophy of adopting a people-first approach to AI to augment human capabilities rather than replace them, addressing concerns about potential job losses. He also highlighted the importance of transforming data into actionable insights, which empowers organizations to make better, more informed decisions. In this context, Generative AI (GenAI) emerges as a powerful tool to aid Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and decision-makers.

It was a pleasure connecting with Dr. Girish Desai to discuss some of the top challenges faced by students as they transition from academia to industry. A major issue we explored is the skill gap that impacts employability, creating hurdles for both graduates and the industries eager to hire skilled talent. Dr. Girish shared valuable insights on how collaboration between government bodies, policymakers, and academic institutions can lay the foundation for a comprehensive strategy to tackle this challenge. Together, we discussed actionable solutions that could significantly boost student readiness for the workforce: ✨ Enhancing Student Employability: Redesigning academic curricula to better align with industry needs ensures that graduates possess the skills companies are actively seeking. ✨ Curriculum Modernization: Adapting programs to include industry-relevant skills and technologies, such as Enterprise Applications, AI/ML, and Sustainability, can increase student marketability right out of college. ✨ Faculty Empowerment: Investing in faculty development enables educators to deliver top-tier training, preparing students to excel in their future careers. ✨ Strengthening Industry-University Collaboration: Building stronger ties between academia and industry ensures that curricula remain relevant and that students gain exposure to real-world challenges. ✨ Soft Skills Development: In addition to technical skills, honing communication, teamwork, and leadership abilities is crucial for professional success. It’s inspiring to see thought leaders like Dr. Girish working to bridge this gap and make strides toward a future where students graduate ready to meet industry demands. Thank you, Dr. Girish, for a meaningful discussion, and looking forward to seeing these strategies come to life! And special thanks for Anand Ganu Sir, for connecting with Dr. Girish Desai and provide opportunity to share my 2 cents on this important topic. Looking for collaborating with Sanjay Wadge to take this initiative forward. #AcademiaToIndustry #Employability #SkillDevelopment #IndustryCollaboration #FutureOfWork #PCET #PCCOE

I was privileged to attend an extremely simple, yet insightful session on leadership by Mr. Vijay Sethi at the CIO&Leader conference as an ITNext100 Future CIO awardee. He shared 5 mantra's which essentially are integral for building the basic character for being a good leader. 1. Have good work ethics 2. Always have a positive attitude. 3. Nurture & inspire our teams 4. Focus on regularly enhancing our knowledge 5. Be a good human being. All of the above is nothing, if the leader does not demonstrate integrity, he said. One thing that resonated with me the most was his statement - "Good leaders do not create followers, they create more good leaders.". This statement brought back memories of my first tryst with formal leadership education when as a beginner in my professional journey I read the book, Good to Great - Jim Collins, where the author talks about Level 5 leadership who channelize their energies to build successors for their organizations. Something which had become a benchmark of my perspective of good leadership ever since. Creating perpetual organizations which transcend individuals. Of course, Mr. Vijay was talking about building good leaders at societal and business community level, which transcends organizations. As Dr. Prashun Dutta shared in his insights, it is our duty to repay the debt to society by contributing back and enabling others to become good leaders. All in all, a memorable and insightful weekend, where stalwarts took us back to first principles. Thanks Mr. Vijay Sethi & Dr. Prashun Dutta for sharing your thoughts with us in a very simple manner. #CIOandLeaderConference #CIOs #TechLeaders #25thCIOandLeader #cioandleader

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India are increasingly sourcing talent from established IT services firms, with GCC hires from this pool rising by nearly 10% in two years. The rise in tech solutions delivery from GCCs is driving this need, and as GCCs grow, they aim to adopt talent practices from IT services to enhance their workforce. This trend allows GCCs to scale rapidly in critical fields like AI and cloud computing by leveraging ready-made expertise from the IT sector - without developing talent pipelines from scratch. This shift aligns with the industry's drive for technological advancement and skilled workforce optimization. However, this shift pressures IT firms, sparking greater competition for top talent and increasing retention efforts and costs. Ultimately, the trend is transforming both industries - as GCCs build strong tech teams and IT firms reassess their talent strategies. We at Benori assess such trends, sector shifts, and drivers fueling the growth of the GCC industry. Dive into what’s behind the rise of GCCs and their impact on India’s business landscape and their impact through our solutions to gain a deep understanding of the sector.
