In an exclusive announcement on GCC Pulse, the GCC Workplace Innovation Summit & Awards 2026 (GCCWPA 2026) is set to return for its third edition on 30th and 31st July 2026 at Hilton Manyata, Bengaluru, reinforcing its position as India’s largest and most influential GCC leadership platform focused on innovation-led value creation.
As Global Capability Centers (GCCs) rapidly evolve from execution hubs into strategic engines of enterprise innovation and business impact, GCCWPA 2026 will bring together the leaders and organisations shaping this transformation. The summit will spotlight how India-based GCCs are driving innovation at scale, delivering measurable value, and enabling long-term competitive advantage for global enterprises.
Over two immersive days, GCCWPA 2026 will convene 1,200+ GCC leaders, 200+ speakers, and representatives from 500+ GCCs, making it one of the most comprehensive gatherings of the GCC ecosystem in India. The platform will enable CXOs, innovation leaders, technology heads, and transformation practitioners to engage in high-impact conversations across innovation, talent, digital transformation, finance, and workplace strategy.
Entering its third edition, GCCWPA has firmly established itself as the flagship forum where strategy meets execution in the GCC ecosystem. The 2026 agenda will feature visionary keynotes, expert-led panel discussions, fireside chats, and curated closed-door roundtables, all designed to translate ideas into outcomes and unlock sustainable enterprise value.
A major highlight of the summit will be the GCC Workplace Awards, one of the largest GCC-focused awards platforms in the country, recognising over 150 exemplary achievements across innovation, workplace excellence, leadership, transformation, and business impact. The awards will celebrate organisations and leaders who are redefining benchmarks and setting new standards for value creation across GCC workplaces.
Further strengthening its knowledge legacy, GCCWPA 2026 will also see the exclusive launch of the GCC Innovation Playbook 2026—a first-of-its-kind publication featuring curated innovation case studies, scalable value-creation models, and best practices from leading GCCs in India. The Playbook aims to serve as a strategic reference for GCC leaders looking to move from pilots to enterprise-wide impact.
Building on the success of previous editions, which saw participation from leading global GCCs and ecosystem partners, GCC Pulse, the official Media Partner for GCCWPA 2025, will continue this collaboration for GCCWPA 2026, exclusively amplifying leadership perspectives and breakthrough innovation stories from the summit.
With its strong focus on innovation, outcomes, and value creation, GCCWPA 2026 aims to further strengthen India’s position as a global hub for innovation-driven GCCs, while creating a powerful platform for collaboration, celebration, and leadership engagement
