DAMAC Group sets up a new GCC in India to fuel global operations and deepen its talent pipeline

The new GCC or DSSI strengthens its strategic capabilities alongside the Pune centre, enhancing the Group’s global operations. Together, these centres will anchor top talent and integrated support services, leveraging India’s technology, digital, and business services ecosystem. 

DAMAC's India GCCs will play a critical role in core business functions, including finance, operations, sales, marketing, HR, projects, commercial, digital, and more. The offices are designed to function as innovation-driven hubs, accelerating efficiency, digital adoption, and customer-centricity across DAMAC’s international operations. 

Additionally, the Group is planning a multi-phased hiring strategy that includes hiring 250+ employees in the Noida office and 100+ employees in the Pune office by 2026. 

Commenting on the launch of the new India GCC, Hussain Sajwani, Founder of DAMAC Group, said, “With DSSI, we are writing a new chapter in DAMAC’s global growth story. India’s talent ecosystem and technology readiness make it a strategic choice for our shared-services centre. We are committed to building high-performing teams by 2026, delivering leading services to support DAMAC’s global ambitions.” 

M. P. John, Chief Human Capital Officer at DAMAC, added, “We are investing in India’s human-capital strengths and enabling a services centre that will transform how we work across regions. We look forward to building a culture of innovation, empowerment, and global collaboration from our India hubs.” 

This DSSI will be built on three interconnected pillars - talent, opportunity, and collaboration, which will strengthen the Group’s global operating model and unlock its next phase of growth. 

“The centre will tap into India’s exceptional talent pool, provide professionals with exposure to DAMAC’s international projects, and create seamless alignment between India, the UAE, and the Group’s wider global network. Building on this vision, DSSI will leverage India’s well-established talent pool to drive high-impact business solutions,” senior officials said at the launch ceremony.
