A Global Capability Centre (GCC)—also called a Global In‑House Centre and sometimes spelled Global Capability Center—is a wholly‑owned offshore hub where a multinational builds strategic technology, engineering or business‑process expertise, operating on shared IP and standards to support global products, customers and innovation goals.

To tap specialised talent at scale, retain intellectual property, accelerate product cycles and reduce total cost of ownership—while staying under direct corporate governance.
A GCC serves only its parent company and tackles high‑value, strategic work; a BPO serves multiple clients and often handles transactional tasks.
Seed teams of 50–100 specialists typically go live in 60–120 days; mature centres often grow to 800–2,000 employees within about three years.
Tier-2 hubs generally deliver 25–35 % lower operating costs than Tier-1 locations, thanks to savings on real estate and salaries.
