AMS to expand Pune GCC; plans over 400 professionals by 2026-end

Global talent acquisition partner AMS on Wednesday announced the expansion of its first India-based Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Pune to over 400 professionals by the end of 2026.

The Pune GCC currently houses approximately 330 professionals, with plans to expand to over 400 by the end of 2026, and further growth is expected in phases aligned with client demand and global expansion priorities, AMS said in a statement.

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.

AMS said 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 24x5 trading model aligned with global teams.

"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," AMS CEO Gordon Stuart added.
