Kuala Lumpur/Bangkok/Singapore , May 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As India continues to cement its reputation as the global capital for Global Capability Centers (GCCs), a new strategic imperative is emerging—cultural integration. While talent, technology, and cost arbitrage remain key, it is the cultural maturity of these centers that now determines enterprise-wide success.In a groundbreaking new whitepaper, SRKay Consulting Group makes a compelling case for why cultural intelligence must be embedded into the operational core of every GCC. Their research reveals a clear business truth: culture is no longer a soft metric—it is a measurable, high-ROI performance driver."Embedding cultural intelligence is no longer a peripheral initiative—it’s a strategic lever that powers agility, R&D effectiveness, and global alignment across mature GCCs in India."— Santosh Panicker, Chief Operating Officer, SRKay Consulting GroupGCCs Are Evolving—But Culture Is LaggingToday’s GCCs are innovation centers, managing high impact workstreams in AI, advanced analytics, and digital transformation. Yet despite this strategic evolution, many centers still struggle with the hidden costs of cultural misalignment—delayed decision-making, compliance breakdowns, communication issues, and talent attrition.SRKay’s study, which surveyed 301 leaders across C-suite, engineering, and HR functions, found:- 60% of Tech & IT leaders report compliance delays due to governance models misaligned with local culture.- 65% of aviation GCCs face productivity bottlenecks from clashes between global standardization and regional work styles.- 55–60% of engineering heads cite persistent execution hurdles caused by poor cultural synergy.Introducing the 5-Stage Cultural Maturity ModelTo tackle these gaps, SRKay proposes a 5-Stage Cultural Maturity Model, guiding GCCs from reactive problem-solving to fully institutionalized cultural fluency. The model aligns with frameworks such as Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions and Trompenaars’ Model, enabling GCCs to diagnose and address issues around hierarchy, communication styles, decision-making, and feedback protocols.This shift, SRKay argues, transforms culture from an HR initiative into a business-critical operating system.“GCCs in India now function as strategic enablers, collaborating directly with global teams on breakthrough projects.” — Darshil Dholakia, Director of Business Operations, SRKay Consulting GroupFrom Metrics to Meaning: Operationalizing CultureMature GCCs are already embedding culture into dashboards and governance scorecards:- Cross-Team Collaboration Index: Quality of interaction between HQ and GCCs- Resolution Turnaround Time: Speed of resolving culturally driven issues- Culture NPS: Sentiment on inclusion and trustThese metrics are bolstered by AI-driven tools—sentiment intelligence, immersive VR learning for leadership alignment, and cultural playbooks embedded in collaboration platforms.“Mature GCCs in India use culture as a source of operational excellence and innovation. Embedding culture transforms it into a competitive differentiator.” — Alok Kumar, Founder & Managing Director, SRKay Consulting GroupCulture-Led Growth: The Future of GCCs in IndiaBy 2030, India’s GCC market is expected to reach USD 110 billion. This growth won’t be driven by headcount alone—but by how effectively centers adopt cross-cultural collaboration, AI-enabled integration, and inclusive leadership.“The next generation of GCCs in India will be led by executives who view cultural competence not as an HR initiative—but as a core business driver.” — Vivek Dubey, Head of Strategic Consulting, SRKay Consulting GroupDownload the Whitepaper NowUnlocking the Full Potential of GCCs: The Strategic Power of Cultural IntegrationAbout SRKay Consulting GroupSRKay Consulting Group is a global consulting firm that helps companies expand into emerging markets like India through data-led strategies, market entry advisory, and operational consulting.

LONDON, May 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new report released today by the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) reveals widespread knowledge gaps, inequities in access, and critical systemic barriers impeding the global fight against hepatitis delta.Also known as hepatitis D, hepatitis delta is a severe liver disease affecting an estimated 12 million people worldwide. It occurs in people living with hepatitis B, leads to faster disease progression, and significantly increases the risk of liver cancer and death.The Hepatitis Delta Global Landscape Survey collected responses from 583 individuals across 102 countries, providing the most comprehensive picture to date of global stakeholder perspectives on awareness, testing, and treatment access around hepatitis delta.Key Findings:There are pronounced regional variations in reported availability and accessibility of hepatitis delta testing and treatment.Even where hepatitis delta testing and treatment are reported to be available, accessibility remains a significant challenge.Both direct and indirect costs are reported as considerable barriers to equitable access to hepatitis delta treatment and care.There are pronounced gaps in knowledge and awareness of hepatitis delta reported by all stakeholders with pronounced regional variations.Lack of knowledge is reported as the most common barrier to both testing and treatment.A third of respondents did not feel sufficiently informed to identify the barriers to hepatitis delta testing and treatment.HCPs reported low levels of training around hepatitis delta, and most expressed a clear interest in further education."These findings highlight an urgent need for coordinated action to scale up hepatitis delta education, diagnosis, and care," said Cary James, CEO of WHA. "Without informed providers, empowered communities, and accessible health services, millions will remain undiagnosed and untreated."Calls to Action:Increase both availability and accessibility of testing and treatment for hepatitis delta in health systems.Address the issues of direct and indirect costs of testing and treatment to increase engagement by communities.Adopt testing policies to follow WHO recommendations on reflex testing for hepatitis delta.Inform people living with hepatitis B of the need to test for hepatitis delta through culturally competent awareness campaigns.Provide more robust training on hepatitis delta to healthcare professionals throughout their career progression.Increase provision of knowledge and awareness programmes for community-based organisations and policymakers.Implement skills-building programmes for community-based organisations so they can better advocate to policymakers and public health officials for greater access to testing, treatment and care.Download the full report: www.worldhepatitisalliance.org/hepatitis-d-surveyNote to Editors:For further information or interview requests contact: Cary James, Chief Executive, World Hepatitis AllianceEmail: contact@worldhepatitisalliance.orgAbout WHA:The World Hepatitis Alliance is an international network of 400 civil society and community organisations across more than 100 countries. It is dedicated to harnessing the power of people living with viral hepatitis to drive its elimination. At WHA, member organisations are the cornerstone of the alliance, working collaboratively to combat hepatitis through advocacy, capacity building, and awareness-raising efforts.

JAKARTA, May 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The construction industry is under pressure by challenging global economic conditions. This is reflected by new contracts secured by PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) of only Rp2.16 trillion, which is lower compared to the same period the previous year. However, the Company booked Rp4.84 trillion in sales, comprising Rp3.11 trillion from non-joint operation projects (Proyek Non-Kerjasama Operasi) and Rp1.73 trillion from joint operation projects (Proyek Kerjasama Operasi, “KSO”).Sales were mainly generated from the building and infrastructure segment, EPC, construction-related industries, and real estate property. The sales achievement enabled WIKA to book a gross profit of Rp393.46 billion, of which Rp231.33 billion came from non-KSO projects and the remainder from KSO projects.WIKA’s consistent restructuring efforts have successfully reduced debts on its balance sheet to financial institutions and business partners by Rp1.47 trillion in Q1-2025 compared with 2024.These positive achievements were also followed by proposals that were approved by bondholders, especially for the Wijaya Karya Shelf Registration Bond II Phase II Year 2022. This reflects stakeholders’ support for the Company’s ongoing restructuring plans. As a result of the approval, the credit rating agency, PT Pemeringkat Efek Indonesia (PEFINDO), upgraded WIKA’s Shelf Registration Bond II Phase II Year 2022 Series A rating from idD to idCCC. However, the Company must seek support from sukukholders of the Wijaya Karya Shelf Registration Sukuk Mudharabah II Phase II Year 2022 to approve the proposals presented, which are part of the Company’s restructuring plans.“The Company expresses its deepest appreciation for the trust and support given by stakeholders. The ongoing restructuring plans are not only focused on improving our financial structure but also on strengthening our fundamentals and operations to attain greater excellence and maintain business sustainability,” said Agung BW, President Director of WIKA.PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk.
