💡 Selling to GCCs: Are We Listening or Just Pitching? 💡 Recently, while hearing from a few sales leaders who wanted my opinion about creating GCC-specific verticals, it's confirmed to me that with the explosive growth of GCCs (Global Capability Centers) in India, every service and product provider wants a piece of the action. I have tried to help all those who have approached, but largely I am putting here the talks that nobody puts up - The uncomfortable truth: Everyone wants to sell to GCCs, but very few want to truly understand them. Too many are rushing in with “one-size-fits-all” offerings, assuming what worked elsewhere will work for GCCs, too. There’s little effort to customize, to listen, or to align with the unique ambitions and challenges that GCCs face today. The focus is on “how much can we sell?”-not “how much value can we add?” Setting up GCC-focused sales teams and verticals has become the new norm. But where’s the conversation about fitment, about tailoring solutions, about evolving business models to actually solve GCCs’ problems? Are we measuring success by the number of deals closed, or by the impact we create for GCCs and their global parent organizations? India’s GCCs are no longer just cost centers- they’re innovation hubs, driving AI, digital transformation, and global business outcomes. They need partners who can co-create, adapt, and grow with them, not just vendors with a sales quota. Also, GCCs have a strong HQ dominance. Please do not take them as sole decision-makers. It’s time for a mindset shift: Stop assuming you’re the perfect fit. Start listening, learning, and customizing. Let’s move from selling to serving. That’s how we’ll unlock the real potential of India’s GCC ecosystem. #GCC #Innovation #CustomerCentricity #IndiaTech #SalesStrategy #DigitalTransformation

India’s cloud telephony market is booming, projected to grow at over 17% CAGR till 2030 and the timing of Zoom Phone’s launch couldn’t be more perfect. At the #ZoomPhoneIndia launch in Delhi, I spoke with Sameer Raje, GM & Head of India at Zoom, about how this moment is the result of nearly six years of planning, regulatory navigation, and deep market understanding. What started as a long-term vision is now a well-timed reality, landing just as India’s demand for cloud-first, scalable communication hits its stride. With hybrid work now the norm and businesses rapidly embracing digital tools, Zoom Phone arrives not just as a product, but as a powerful enabler. Sameer shared Zoom’s vision of building adaptable, future-ready telephony tailor-made for India’s next phase of growth. The future is calling and it sounds crystal clear. Congratulations to the entire Zoom India team for an epic Launch. Debjani Gupta Rubal Walia Steve Rafferty Cathy Yum Aayan B.
