TeamLease Group, Invest UP partner to strengthen talent acquisition for GCCs

Invest UP to facilitate talent acquisition and workforce enablement for newly established Global Capability Centres in the state.

This collaboration aims to reduce time-to-hire and ease the early-stage talent acquisition process for new Global Capability Centres (GCCs) establishing operations in the state, TeamLease Group said in a statement.

The Uttar Pradesh government has set a target of 500 GCCs by 2031, with the strategy now expanding beyond Noida and Greater Noida into tier II and III cities, including Lucknow and Kanpur.

“Access to skilled talent at speed and scale is what determines how quickly a new GCC ramps up. With over 110 GCC partnerships nationally and an active GCC headcount of more than 1,470 professionals in Uttar Pradesh, we’re well placed to support enterprises right from the planning stage – through workforce intelligence, benchmarking, and end-to-end talent execution.

“Our partnership with Invest UP is to build capabilities that are genuine contenders for the same high-value mandates as any metro,” TeamLease MD and Group CEO Suparna Mitra said.

Beyond individual GCCs, the collaboration is expected to strengthen the talent and skilling ecosystem in Uttar Pradesh, supporting the state’s broader ambition to be seen as a long-term home for global enterprises.

“This partnership with TeamLease will help strengthen workforce readiness, deepen industry-academia linkages, and create structured talent pipelines that enable the state’s growth,” InvestUP CEO Vijay Kiran Anand said.
