The report identifies 202 Fortune 500 U.S. companies without a GCC presence in India, with 50 companies showing the strongest potential for future investment.
Sectors such as financial services, healthcare, technology-enabled industries, industrial manufacturing, and food retail align well with India's GCC ecosystem.
Companies with international operations and some level of India engagement are more likely to explore GCC opportunities.
Industries like tobacco, railroads, mining, publishing, and building materials show limited GCC potential due to high localization and regulatory constraints.

Abstract
The GCC US Watchlist 2025: December Edition report identifies U.S.
Fortune 500 companies that are well-positioned to establish Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India. The report is a follow-up to the May 2025 edition, which initially evaluated 209 companies without a GCC presence in India. Since then, seven companies have established or announced GCCs, reducing the pool to 202. The report uses a structured scoring framework to assess companies based on their global operational footprint, India presence, sector alignment with offshore capability models, and ownership structure. The findings indicate that companies with international operations and prior India engagement, particularly in sectors like financial services, healthcare, technology, industrial manufacturing, and consumer-led sectors, are the most likely candidates for future GCC establishment. The report aims to assist industry groups, policymakers, and consulting organizations in identifying potential areas for GCC development in India, highlighting strategic opportunities in the evolving GCC landscape.

The research was conducted using a structured, data-driven evaluation framework. It assessed 209 Fortune U.S. 500 companies without a GCC presence in India based on four dimensions: global operational footprint, India presence, industry alignment with the GCC model, and ownership type. The study used publicly available data and qualitative analysis to rank companies, focusing on those with international operations and early-stage India engagement. The findings are based on a composite scoring model and do not predict confirmed expansion decisions.

The PeMa (Penetration and Maturity) Quadrant is AIM Research's 2x2 vendor evaluation framework. It measures each provider's market penetration (clients, deal sizes, geographic spread) and technology maturity (capabilities, platforms, partnerships), and places them as Leaders, Seasoned Vendors, Growth Vendors or Challengers.
Any enterprise technology vendor active in the relevant market category can request to participate. AIM Research issues an open RFI for each study and invites qualifying vendors via the Research Calendar.
Vendors are evaluated through a structured RFI process backed by primary research, including vendor briefings, customer references and product evaluations. They are scored across 40+ weighted criteria covering product capabilities, strategy and market impact, and the weighted scores are mapped to one of the four quadrant positions.
The date of the next edition has not been announced yet. Upcoming studies and their RFI windows are listed on the AIM Research Calendar.
The report aims to identify and prioritize U.S.-based Fortune 500 companies that are best positioned to establish new Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India. It provides actionable insights for policymakers, industry bodies, consultants, and infrastructure providers looking to attract GCC investments.
Companies were evaluated using a composite scoring model based on four key parameters: global operational footprint, India presence, industry alignment with the GCC model, and ownership type. The scoring framework helped rank companies on their likelihood of establishing GCCs in India.
Sectors such as financial services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, technology-enabled industries, industrial manufacturing, and food retail show strong alignment with India's GCC ecosystem. These sectors benefit from India's workforce availability, operating costs, and scale.
