How do offshore teams (GCCs) support front-office banking functions

Hi everyone,

I’ve been noticing a trend where more Global Capability Centers (GCCs), especially in India, are moving beyond traditional back-office roles and starting to support front-office functions in investment banking and capital markets.

I’m curious to hear from anyone who has direct or indirect experience with this. Some specific points I’m exploring:

What types of front-office tasks (e.g., pitchbook creation, financial modeling, market research) are being offshored?

  • How do GCC teams collaborate with onshore bankers?

    Are banks training offshore teams to take on client-facing prep work?

    Do these roles offer meaningful exposure or career progression?

Would appreciate any insights, especially from those who’ve worked in or with such teams.
Thanks!
