Accenture Invests $170 Mn in Bengaluru, US-based ANSR

Accenture has invested nearly $170 million (₹1,400 crore) in ANSR, a Bengaluru and US-based company that has set up over 120 global capability centers (GCCs). This investment secures a significant minority stake for Accenture in ANSR. These GCCs play a crucial role in collaborating with parent enterprises, enhancing core value propositions, and driving scale.

Last year, NYSE-listed digital workflow company ServiceNow also invested in ANSR. This investment further strengthens ANSR's position as a trusted partner for Fortune 500 companies and others in building, managing, and scaling GCCs.

In the past, ANSR has received funding from Evolvence Capital, Sistema Asia Capital, Infosys Innovation Fund, and Accel.

By 2030, GCCs are projected to contribute a total revenue of $121 billion, approximately 3.5% of India's GDP.

A Global Capability Center (GCC), also known as a Global In-House Center (GIC) or Shared Services Center, is an organizational unit that provides specialized services and expertise to its parent company. These centers are typically located in countries with cost-effective talent pools and favorable business environments. GCCs handle functions such as IT, finance, HR, research, analytics, and customer support. They enable companies to centralize operations, improve efficiency, and access skilled resources while maintaining control over critical processes.

ANSR, founded in 2014, by Lalit Ahuja, provides enterprise-ready talent, workspace, and GCC operations, serving companies like 3M, Target, Lowe's, Rakuten, Ikea, and Airbnb. The strategic partnership between Accenture and ANSR aims to help clients establish and optimize global teams for technology and business functions.

Since its inception, ANSR has established over 85 GMlobal Capability Centers (GCCs) aggregating to more than 85,000 enterprise talents with over $1.6 billion in investment. These GCCs play a crucial role in helping companies build core and critical capabilities that are not easily outsourced. They provide access to niche skill sets and top talent in talent-rich hubs, resulting in at least 40% lower costs compared to outsourced or contract staff. Additionally, in-house teams at GCCs demonstrate over 30% higher productivity and retention, contributing to agile responses to market demands.

ANSR's comprehensive suite of AI-driven talent solutions and workspace management services further enhance the value proposition for businesses seeking to establish and optimize global teams.
