The GCC Summit Series, with the topic “From Ledger to Global Leadership: Chartered Accountants Shaping Global Capability Centers,” has been announced by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). The first summit is scheduled for June 27–28, 2025, in New Delhi. Ahmedabad (GIFT City), Mumbai, and Hyderabad will host further summits.
This historic endeavor seeks to highlight the revolutionary role played by Indian chartered accountants in reshaping the global services landscape and to strengthen India’s standing as a worldwide hub for Global Capability Centers (GCCs).
These facilities will support international activities in a variety of sectors, such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, finance, and information technology.
