Share L’Oréal is set to make a major technology investment in India with plans to commit ₹3,500 crore to establish a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Hyderabad. The new hub will create approximately 2,000 high-skilled technology roles, strengthening India’s role within the beauty giant’s global innovation ecosystem. Hyderabad to Host Global Digital and AI Innovation The upcoming centre will focus on advanced digital capabilities spanning artificial intelligence, data science, analytics and emerging technologies. Its mandate includes supporting global platforms, strengthening supply chain intelligence and developing next-generation beauty technology solutions for international markets. Rather than functioning as a traditional back-office setup, the GCC is being positioned as a core digital transformation hub that will drive innovation across product, consumer and enterprise workflows worldwide. Announced at the World Economic Forum 2026 The investment announcement was made on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum 2026, signalling L’Oréal’s confidence in India’s technology talent pool as well as Hyderabad’s growing importance as a destination for high-value digital and R&D work. India’s Rising Role in Global GCC Strategy The move reflects a broader trend among multinational corporations that are expanding AI-led, product-led and innovation-oriented global capability centres from India. With Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune emerging as preferred hubs, India is becoming central to enterprise digital transformation and global product engineering for major global brands. L’Oréal’s new GCC in Hyderabad is expected to accelerate the company’s digital roadmap while reinforcing India’s stature as a strategic innovation partner for multinational enterprises.
