UnitedHealth Group Global Capability Center (Gurugram)

Optum India in Gurugram is one of India's largest individual GCC operations, with approximately 40,000 professionals working across health data analytics, software engineering, claims technology, pharmacy care platforms, and digital health application development for UnitedHealth Group's two principal businesses — UnitedHealthcare insurance and Optum health services. The sheer scale of the Gurugram operation places it among India's top three GCCs by headcount, reflecting UnitedHealth Group's extraordinary reliance on India engineering and analytics capability to run the world's largest healthcare company.

The analytical work at Optum India is at the frontier of health data science, operating on one of the world's largest healthcare datasets. Teams build predictive models for disease progression, hospital readmission risk, and medication adherence that directly inform care management programmes for millions of UnitedHealthcare members. Claims analytics uses machine learning to identify fraud, waste, and abuse in the hundreds of billions of healthcare claims UnitedHealthcare processes annually — work with direct impact on healthcare cost management for employers and government payers. Digital health application engineering builds patient-facing apps, provider portals, and care coordination tools that are used by tens of millions of Americans managing their healthcare.

Optum India targets 45,000 employees by 2027, continuing its trajectory as one of the fastest-growing large GCCs in India. The DLF Cyber City campus in Gurugram provides extensive infrastructure, and UnitedHealth Group's mission — helping people live healthier lives — provides a meaningful purpose context for the technology and analytics professionals who make up this extraordinary India operation.
