• Expansion to support EMEA, APAC, Americas and UK markets as AMS accelerates India-led global growth
  • Pune was selected post a review of six Indian cities – strong talent ecosystem, stable cost structures, and growing reputation as a GCC destination

Pune : AMS, a leading global talent acquisition and orchestration solutions provider, today announced the expansion of its first India-based Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Pune, reinforcing India’s growing role as a strategic talent backbone for the company’s global operations. The expansion comes as AMS scales its India workforce to support increasing demand across international markets including EMEA, APAC, the Americas, and the UK.

India has rapidly emerged as the world’s leading GCC destination with over 1,700 GCCs currently and expected to reach around 2,500 GCCs by 2030. Organisations are increasingly leveraging India not just for cost efficiency, but for access to specialised talent, digital capabilities, and scalable global services. AMS’ expansion in Pune aligns with this broader shift, positioning India at the centre of its global service delivery and location strategy.

The Pune GCC currently houses approximately 330 professionals, with plans to expand to over 400 by end of 2026, and further growth expected in phases aligned to client demand and global expansion priorities.  The centre will focus on Client Services Delivery including RPO Sourcing and Administration, BI and Market Insights, Talent Intelligence, analytics-led execution, and digital enablement, operating on a 24×5 model aligned with global teams. With this expansion, AMS strengthens its India footprint and reinforces the country’s role in supporting global client engagements by improving scalability, ensuring operations continuity, and cost efficiency.

Elaborating on what this expansion means on a global level, Gordon Stuart, CEO, AMS, said, “India is increasingly becoming the global talent backbone for organisations looking to scale resilient, future-ready operations models. With GCCs employing around 2 million professionals currently and a rapidly growing talent ecosystem, India offers the capability and innovation required to support such global businesses.  Our expansion in Pune reflects AMS’ long-term commitment to building India-led global delivery capabilities that support clients across EMEA, APAC, the Americas, and the UK. With the increasing demand for skills-based and AI-enabled hiring, India will remain central to how we build and deliver our services across the world. Our long-term vision for India is that of a critical hub for our global growth journey.”

After a structured review across six Indian cities, AMS selected Pune for expansion based on the city’s strong talent ecosystem, mature enterprise environment, stable cost structures, and growing reputation  as a GCC destination. Pune, along with its proximity to Mumbai, has witnessed steady growth in technology, analytics, and business services talent, making it a preferred location for organisations building scalable global operations.

Project expansion began in 2024 with leadership hiring, capability build-out, and operational scale-up. The next phase will focus on expanding specialised capabilities, strengthening analytics-led execution, and supporting global clients with integrated workforce solutions.
