Indo-Japan GCC corridor

According to a regulatory filing, the company stated that the Indo-Japan corridor aims to open opportunities for Japanese companies to set up GCCs in India across AI, engineering, cybersecurity, Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), healthcare, energy, education, digital transformation, and SME ecosystems.

The Quess–IGS–IPA partnership will focus on supporting Japanese enterprises seeking to diversify their global operations, access “future-ready” talent, and “accelerate next-generation capability” development across key high-growth sectors in India.

“The partnership draws on the deepening Special Strategic and Global Partnership between India and Japan, two Indo-Pacific economies whose interests are increasingly aligned across trade, technology, supply-chain resilience, and innovation,” Quess Corp said.

Several Japanese companies, the filing said, are actively evaluating India-based GCC and offshore delivery models that have evolved from cost arbitrage tools into strategic growth enablers.

These GCC models provide enterprises with access to specialised talent at scale, while enabling them to retain full ownership of intellectual property, platforms, and institutional knowledge, the filing added.

Commenting on the development, Lohit Bhatia, Executive Director & Group CEO, Quess Corp, said: “India has cemented its position as the world’s foremost destination for GCC growth, backed by an unmatched talent ecosystem, advanced digital capabilities, and a workforce built for innovation. For Japanese enterprises accelerating their transformation agendas, India offers far more than cost efficiency; it is a gateway to high-quality technology talent at scale.”

Bhatia further stated that through the collaboration, Quess Corp will establish a structured Indo–Japan GCC corridor that enables Japanese companies to build and scale operations in India, while creating meaningful, high-skilled employment opportunities for Indian professionals.

“This combines Quess’ workforce and GCC execution expertise with IGS’ deep Japanese market access and IPA’s strategic government and business ecosystem support. Together, the alliance aims to support Japanese companies across the entire GCC lifecycle, from market entry and pilot team deployment to long-term scaling and transformation,” Bhatia added.
