Zurich Insurance Group has announced a new Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Hyderabad, strengthening its focus on advancing technology and AI capabilities across its global operations.

The centre will operate as a strategic extension of Zurich’s global model, with end-to-end ownership across engineering, data, and core business functions. It is designed to embed AI-enabled ways of working from the outset, supporting the development and scaling of global solutions.

Zurich has appointed Amit Kalra as Head of Global Capability Centres, effective 1 July 2026. Based in India, he will lead the group’s global GCC strategy and oversee the establishment and expansion of the Hyderabad centre. He previously led the GBS business for Swiss Re India.

As the centre grows, Zurich will recruit specialists across cloud and platform engineering, data and AI, application development, cybersecurity, and quality engineering.
