India is emerging as a hub for global leadership roles in multinational companies. Giants like IBM, Accenture, SAP, and Goldman Sachs have established reporting and controlling positions in India. Companies are expanding their operations in India, and more international executives are being based there. For example, PepsiCo is planning to elevate senior executives in India who will handle global teams. This trend is expected to continue as more global capability centers (GCCs) are established in India. The country is also witnessing the creation of new roles, such as chief customer officer and discovery officer, showcasing increased trust and responsibility given to Indian professionals. The growth in global leadership roles in India is expected to continue, with the projection of 20,000 global digital leadership positions by 2030.
