MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government and US-based Supervity AI signed an MoU at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos to set up the world’s first AI (Global Capability Center) GCC hub in Mumbai. The AI GCC Hub will be set up in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), anchored as a next-generation applied agentic AI research and innovation centre. The MoU was signed in the presence of CM Devendra Fadnavis.
“The AI GCC Hub will serve as a next-generation applied agentic AI R&D center and innovation lab, enabling global enterprises to transition from traditional offshore Global Capability Centers (GCCs) to AI-first operations centers powered by autonomous, policy-driven multi-agent AI systems.The initiative positions Maharashtra as a global pioneer in the evolution of enterprise operations – from labor-centric shared services to AI-native operational models,” said Kaustubh Kalyankar, Chief Business Officer of Supervity AI. “This AI GCC marks the shift from manpower-led operations to AI-first enterprises, with Maharashtra becoming the global nerve center for that transformation. The proposed Supervity AI GCC Hub will act as a launchpad for multinational enterprises to safely experiment, design, deploy, and scale multi agentic AI Employees across finance, procurement, compliance, supply chain, customer operations, and other core business functions. Unlike conventional GCCs that rely heavily on human-intensive execution, the hub will focus on Supervity’s self-driving AI Employees, executing operations under human-defined policies and governance. This model enables higher productivity, operational resilience, and enterprise-grade auditability at scale across functions,” Kalyankar said. “By anchoring the AI GCC Hub in Mumbai, the initiative reinforces Maharashtra’s ambition to emerge as a global hub for advanced digital and AI-led enterprise operations. The hub is expected to attract multinational corporations seeking to modernize operations while leveraging India’s deep technology expertise and innovation ecosystem,” officials said.“AI should not just assist businesses — it should run them responsibly, securely, and at scale, and this GCC is where that future begins,” Siva Moduga, CEO of Supervity AI. Officials said under the MoU, Supervity AI will collaborate with the state govt to establish a dedicated Agentic AI R&D Center under AI GCC Hub in BKC, enable enterprises to safely experiment, deploy AI-driven operating models across front, middle, and back-office functions, support the development of AI-first operating frameworks aligned with global regulatory and compliance standards and foster a robust ecosystem of AI talent, solution partners, and enterprise adopters.“We are building a blueprint where policy, governance, and autonomous AI work together to deliver real, measurable enterprise outcomes,” Omkar Pandharkame, Chief Strategy Officer of Supervity AI.
