The event, held in collaboration with Dun & Bradstreet India, took place at a New Delhi hotel.

Experts from more than 16 leading companies, including Orion Innovation and ACA Group, shared insights on enhancing the GCC ecosystem in Uttar Pradesh and preparing it for the future.
On the occasion, Invest UP CEO Vijay Kiran Anand emphasised the growing shift of GCCs toward Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. He highlighted the state’s extensive expressway network, expanding air connectivity and dedicated freight corridors as enablers for cost-efficient operations and decentralisation.
Anand also noted the state’s strong academic base, with IIT Kanpur, BHU, and IIM Lucknow supported by more than 8,000 higher education institutions producing world-class STEM talent.
With integrated ecosystems in AI, cloud, finance, and R&D, Uttar Pradesh is poised to generate over one lakh jobs in the coming years, positioning itself as a hub for digital value creation, he said.
