State Bank of India joins GCC E² 2026 as Title Sponsor

Entering the GCC ecosystem that empowers all.

India's most trusted and its very own government bank is joining to boost the GCC ecosystem. State Bank of India joins GCC E² (GCC Ecosystem Empower) as Title Sponsor, anchoring the invitation-only GCC leaders summit at HY-ONE Convention, Hyderabad on 30 October 2026. It is a fitting partnership: the nation's own bank, built on serving every corner of the country, entering a room built to serve every player in the GCC ecosystem.

An ecosystem that empowers all

GCC E² is a curated, two-sided room, not a trade-show floor. GCC and GBS leaders meet vetted delivery partners across 15 verticals, chosen for fit rather than volume. State Bank of India's presence as Title Sponsor reflects that spirit: a GCC ecosystem that empowers everyone in it, from the leaders scaling India's capability centres to the specialists who support them.

A first: an international government forum

For the first time, GCC E² provisions a dedicated forum for international government and trade bodies to address the GCC ecosystem directly, and to share the challenges and opportunities they see from their side of each corridor. Invitations have been extended to trade and investment offices across key corridors, including:

Confirmed participants will be announced as they join, and the session timing is subject to the note on the agenda.

The agenda is live

The day runs from registration at 08:30 to an open Leaders and Partners meet at 17:00, and it is deliberately conversation-first. Four panels take on the questions GCC leaders actually argue about: what headquarters misunderstands about running a GCC, whether the ecosystem behaves like a vendor or a partner, whether regulation is the real ceiling on scale, and whether the talent war is now between centres rather than companies. Between them sit a leadership keynote, sponsor showcases, the Innovation Alley lunch, and short engagement sessions that keep the room moving.
