As always, I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and doing well. While the prolonged uncertainty, ups and downs, and anxiety continues, the silver lining – that we got to spend so much quality time with our loved ones – has been appreciated by many. We live in a different world now, and for the foreseeable future, it will be a ‘post-covid-19’ world. But the indomitable human spirit has prevailed and we have adapted both personally and professionally, faster-than-anticipated, to a virtual way of working. The show must indeed go on, and it has gone on, 4. COVER STORY considering everything that has happened. GCCs IN INDIA – To be or not to be... By Vibhor Singhal & Karan Uppal The pandemic has had an economic fallout across sectors. But what has turned out to be adversity for one, has emerged as an opportunity for others. While the Indian IT services vendors have 41. INTERVIEW seen a significant jump in the demand environment for their services, Mr Sashidharan the other part of the Indian IT ecosystem – the captives (or the Balasundaram, Global Capability Centers (GCCs)) have faced multiple headwinds Senior Manager, like Business Continuity Planning (BCP) issues and financial stress for ISG Research their parent organizations. This, our technology team believes, can lead to an unprecedented opportunity for IT services providers – in terms of acquiring some of these GCCs; a win-win situation for both the parties. Vibhor Singhal and Karan Uppal, from our technology 44. Indian Economy: Trend Indicators team, have dug deep into this scenario, and have carried out some interesting analysis of how the scenario could playout, and of who could be the potential winners and losers. 46. PhillipCapital Coverage Universe Valuation Summary In addition to this riveting story, they have also interviewed Mr Sashidharan Balasundaram, Senior Manager at ISG Research, one of the largest global IT consulting firms – to understand the GCC landscape in India, and how the current pandemic could impact it.

Both have their own important place in the ecosystem, and have grown together over the last five decades. This year, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a wide- ranging multi-dimensional impact on various industries. With the world moving to WFH (Work from Home), technology adoption has seen unexpected and unprecedented acceleration across enterprises and consumers. This has led to a significant reset in the demand environment for the technology industry, especially for Indian IT services vendors. As for the GCCs – when they were forced to shut operations due to the lockdowns imposed by various governments (including India), the world realized that many of them did not have credible Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and were not prepared for a WFH scenario. It is expected that the economic/financial crisis has led (or will lead) to many of the MNCs struggling financially, eventually leading them to terminate/postpone their plans to set-up/expand their GCCs in India/ROW. It is also widely anticipated that many MNCs might actually shut down their GCCs, by selling them off to IT services vendors – to effectively monetize their ‘non-core’ assets to remain financially viable. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for the Indian IT-services vendors, to acquire these talent houses, and boost their inorganic growth, while expanding their geographical, vertical and technological reach. It promises to be an interesting time ahead, with both parts of the Indian IT ecosystem looking to grow together while also at the cost of each other. 4 GROUND VIEW 1 - 30 November 2020 1 - 30 November 2020 GROUND VIEW 5 INDIAN GCC LANDSCAPE How it all began An overview of the Indian IT Services Industry and GCCs in India The beginning of the Indian IT industry The global technology outsourcing landscape India’s IT services industry was born in 1967 with the The global technology industry stands at US$ 2.5trillion creation of Tata Consultancy Services.

Global sourcing landscape (FY19) The beginning of GCCs or captives However, what is left unsaid most of the times, is the role of captives or GCCs (Global Capability Centres) in this growth and evolution of the industry. The history of captives in India started in 1985, with Texas instruments (TI) setting up its captive/R&D centre in Bengaluru. TI was attracted to India because of the country’s engineering talent and costs advantage. What followed was an avalanche of global companies setting up their captives in India, initially as cost centres, that have now evolved into full grown centres of innovation and IP creation.

  • Ideal Homes? Social Change and Domestic Life
    IDEAL HOMES? Until now, the ‘home’ as a space within which domestic lives are lived out has been largely ignored by sociologists. Yet the ‘home’ as idea, place and object consumes a large proportion of individuals’ incomes, and occupies their dreams and their leisure time while the absence of a physical home presents a major threat to both society and the homeless themselves. This edited collection provides for the first time an analysis of the space of the ‘home’ and the experiences of home life by writers from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social policy and anthropology. It covers a range of subjects, including gender roles, different generations’ relationships to home, the changing nature of the family, transition, risk and alternative visions of home. Ideal Homes? provides a fascinating analysis which reveals how both popular images and experiences of home life can produce vital clues as to how society’s members produce and respond to social change. Tony Chapman is Head of Sociology at the University of Teesside. Jenny Hockey is Senior Lecturer in the School of Comparative and Applied Social Sciences, University of Hull. IDEAL HOMES?
