About Maersk Global Service Centres India
Maersk's Global Service Centres India in Pune is one of the most strategically important logistics GCCs in India, where approximately 7,000 engineers are building the digital infrastructure for what Maersk calls the world's integrated logistics network. Established in 2004 and growing steadily, the Pune centre is central to Maersk's ambitious transformation from a pure container shipping company — the world's largest — into a full-service integrated logistics provider that can handle customers' end-to-end supply chains across ocean, air, and land. This transformation requires building entirely new technology capabilities, from customs automation and cold chain tracking to e-commerce fulfilment platforms, and Pune is leading much of that engineering work.
The centre's most impactful product ownership is over the ocean booking platform — the software that enables Maersk's millions of shipping customers to book container space, track vessels, and manage documentation for global ocean freight. The re-architecture of this platform to a cloud-native microservices architecture, led from Pune, has significantly improved booking speed, system resilience, and the ability to add new features quickly. Supply chain visibility engineering builds on this foundation, providing end-to-end tracking across multiple transport modes that gives corporate customers the transparency they need to manage complex global supply chains.
Maersk India targets 8,000 employees by 2027, with growth in logistics platform engineering, AI for supply chain optimisation, and e-commerce logistics technology. The Baner Road campus in Pune provides solid infrastructure in one of India's fastest-growing IT cities, and Maersk's transformation narrative — from ship operator to logistics intelligence company — creates an increasingly compelling engineering proposition for technology professionals interested in applying software and AI to one of the world's most complex operational domains.
