The Bengaluru Global Capability Center (GCC) of Sabre Corporation is celebrating its fifteenth year of operations as a strategic hub for the company. The center, the youngest among the global peer GCCs has about 1,700 product, engineering and customer experience professionals who collaborate and create technology solutions for the airline travel and hospitality industries.
In India, Sabre launched its operations in 2005 to manage the growing APAC market and key projects in partnership with counterparts from other centers. Over the years, the center expanded its technology expertise as a peer capability center focusing on innovation and continues to remain among attractive places to work.
With COVID-19 impacting the global travel industry and economy, the center leveraged its rapid innovation practices to support its customers alongside peer centers and partners.
