Mumbai is poised to become a global focal point for enterprise artificial intelligence with the announcement of the world’s first AI Global Capability Centre (GCC) Hub, following a landmark memorandum of understanding between the Government of Maharashtra and Supervity AI. The agreement was signed at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, positioning the city at the forefront of next-generation AI-led enterprise transformation.
The hub will be anchored in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and is envisioned as a large-scale applied agentic AI research, development, and innovation centre serving global enterprises. Unlike conventional GCCs that focus on process execution and shared services, the AI GCC Hub will specialise in building and deploying autonomous, policy-driven, multi-agent AI systems designed to operate as digital employees across complex enterprise environments.
The centre will enable organisations to design, test, deploy, and scale self-driving AI agents across critical functions such as finance, procurement, compliance, supply chain management, and customer operations. A key differentiator of the initiative is its emphasis on enterprise-grade governance, auditability, and policy controls, ensuring AI systems operate within defined regulatory and ethical boundaries. This approach reflects the growing demand among large enterprises for AI solutions that are not only powerful, but also trustworthy and compliant.
Beyond enterprise innovation, the initiative has a strong talent and ecosystem development focus. As part of the partnership, the Maharashtra government will support the training of up to 25,000 forward-deployed AI engineers over time. These professionals are expected to play a critical role in designing, managing, and governing autonomous AI systems for global clients, further strengthening Mumbai’s position as a high-value AI talent hub.
Commenting on the significance of the collaboration, Siva Moduga, co-founder and CEO, Supervity AI, said, “Enterprise operations are undergoing a structural shift. Traditional GBS and GCC models were designed for scale through human effort, whereas the next decade demands scale through AI execution with strong governance.” His remarks underscore the broader transformation underway as enterprises move from human-centric scaling models to AI-native operating structures.
For Maharashtra, the AI GCC Hub aligns with its ambition to attract advanced digital infrastructure, deepen its innovation ecosystem, and move up the global value chain in technology services. For global enterprises, it offers a new model for building and governing agentic AI at scale. Together, the initiative signals a decisive step toward redefining how enterprise operations are designed and delivered in an AI-first era.
