Embitel’s GCC+ Model: Best of Both Worlds

What makes us unique is our GCC+ model. A key pillar of our work within the Volkswagen Group is CARIAD India, a dedicated Business Unit of Embitel, that serves as a Global Capability Center (GCC) for CARIAD. Through this GCC, our teams contribute directly to the development of Volkswagen Group’s global vehicle platforms. Alongside our work with CARIAD, we collaborate closely with other Volkswagen Group brands to deliver pioneering solutions across ADAS, Cloud & Connectivity, Power Electronics Energy & Charging, Infotainment, Data & AI.

Beyond the Volkswagen Group, we also serve a strong portfolio of global third-party clients across multiple industries – positioning us as much more than a traditional GCC.

This dual focus enables us to bring broader industry learnings into everything we build, while ensuring the highest standards of data and IP security.
