India has rapidly transformed into the world's leading hub for Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and multinational shared services. Companies like JP Morgan, Barclays, Citibank, Genpact, and the Big 4 accounting firms employ tens of thousands of finance professionals in India to manage their global books of accounts. This has created unprecedented corporate demand for ACCA affiliates and members.
