About A&M Global Capability Center Private Limited

In 2023, A&M established a high-quality global capability center in India. The capability center has dedicated centers of expertise which work with A&M leadership across multiple business units and geographies to enable efficient service delivery to A&M clients.

The GCC is designed to efficiently and innovatively scale client delivery teams to meet ongoing demands.

The GCC blends industry and consulting professionals across multiple domains to drive change and add value.

Unlike traditional GCC models focused on back-office support, we partner with case teams for end-to-end case delivery and thought leadership.

We serve all major markets, including the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, and work across various industries such as Consumer & Retail, Healthcare, Software & Technology, Automotive & Industrials, Hospitality & Leisure, Energy & Natural Resources, and Financial Services.

As we embark on this unique journey, the firm is actively seeking to build a strong, capable team for the center. The GCC is growing rapidly and is already a 500+ member team.
