What was announced: HCLTech has launched an AI-powered nano Global Capability Center (GCC) offering, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The company describes it as a way for enterprises to move from AI experimentation to business outcomes.
The offering is part of the GCC 360 solution suite and combines HCLTech's GCC advisory capabilities with its AI platforms, including AI Force.
Who it is aimed at
- Established GCCs already operating in a country on largely conventional work, which need a non-disruptive route to AI-led transformation through a hub-and-spoke model anchored from HCLTech's Lucknow campus.
- Mid-market enterprises without an in-country presence, which are cautious about entering a new geography and want a low-risk platform to build AI operations.
In both cases the company says the model lets a client start with a targeted scope, set up AI-native operating models and reduce setup cycles, then scale progressively.
How it is different: The nano GCC model is built around compact, product-centric squads, AI-enabled workflows and a land-and-expand approach, rather than the broad scope and scale of traditional GCC models. The offering covers AI-native engineering, autonomous IT operations, advanced data and analytics and intelligent business operations, with responsible AI governance built in.
How the work is split
- HCLTech leads the operating model design and implementation.
- AWS provides joint go-to-market support and access to agentic AI services including Amazon Bedrock, Kiro and AWS Transform.
Rollout: The Asia Pacific region is the first phase of the rollout. Delivery will be through HCLTech's India-based delivery organisation, supported by the Center of Excellence in Lucknow.
What the company said: Kiran Cherukuri, Executive Vice President and Global GCC Practice Leader, said the question for most organisations is no longer whether to build AI-native operations but how to do it without the drag of legacy setup models. Prabhakar Appana, Senior Vice President and Global Head of the AWS Ecosystem Business Unit at HCLTech, said the combination offers enterprises a faster, lower-risk path. AWS India and South Asia's Amit Anshu said AWS supplies cloud infrastructure, agentic AI services and DevOps capabilities that power the offering.
Scale of the business, as stated in the release: HCLTech has more than 230,000 people across 60+ countries, and consolidated revenues for the 12 months ending September 2026 totalled $14.8 billion.
What this is: The update is a press release issued by the company, forwarded to the exchanges for information and records. It describes a new service offering and its rollout plan.
