What's a GCC?


Global capability centers where they basically do the business processes and work for US/EU companies for fraction the cost.


So basically like ghost kitchens for white-collar work, with an extra timezone difference?


Yes exactly like that.


TIL


What happened to 'BPO'? cool kids?


BPO means the US company is outsourcing to an Indian company. A Global Capability Center (GCC) means it's a US company subsidiary in India.


Aka an office or a department in another location where payrates are less than the company median. Coming up with these initialisms must be hard work, I doubt AI is that clever.


Inventing these initialisms, as well as the systems they name, is hard and well paying work!


Thanks. Sounds like a good deal.


> so-called global capability centres, captive back offices that are booming in India ...


Thanks a lot!
