GCC
US-based AI-powered consumer insights and market research platform Fuel Cycle has opened a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Navi Mumbai, strengthening its focus on engineering, artificial intelligence and product development in India.
The centre will initially have a planned capacity of 50 professionals, with further scaling expected over the coming quarters. Over the next three to four years, the GCC is expected to take on greater ownership of Fuel Cycle’s global product development activities.
Daryush, Chief Product and AI Officer at Fuel Cycle, said India is being viewed not simply as a delivery location, but as a strategic product and AI hub where teams can contribute to technologies shaping the next generation of market research.
The Navi Mumbai centre will support Fuel Cycle’s broader technology roadmap while expanding its engineering and AI capabilities.
The Bigger Picture: India’s GCC ecosystem is increasingly shifting from delivery-focused operations toward product engineering, AI development and global technology ownership.
Fuel Cycle’s GCC highlights how global technology companies are using India to build specialised AI and product capabilities that contribute directly to their international innovation strategies.
