How Global In-House Centers Drive Growth and Attract Top Talents

Global In-House Centers, emerged in the 1990s as one of the most effective ways for organizations to optimize costs and enhance operational efficiency. These offshore units help multinational corporations (MNCs) centralize their global business functions while leveraging skilled talent in cost-effective locations.

With rapid digitalization, businesses are expanding their presence in the global market. Many MNCs are restructuring their business models to adopt and integrate GICs as a strategic approach to scalability and innovation.
