Hyderabad recorded the highest number of new GCC centres between April and November 2025. UnearthIQ reported that 41 new captive technology centres opened in the city during this period. Bengaluru added around 30 GCC facilities in the same months. The report confirmed that 60 of the new additions across cities were Greenfield projects.
How the new system works
The UnearthIQ report stated that foreign firms expanded their India footprint by setting up second or third technology facilities. The GCC ecosystem in Hyderabad spans multiple sectors, including IT/ITeS, BFSI, healthcare and manufacturing. The study also noted that Hyderabad’s technology workforce continues to support this growth pattern.
Impact on India’s technology workforce
The report said that 1.82 lakh professionals form Telangana’s overall GCC workforce. UnearthIQ found that 59% of this talent works in IT/ITeS roles. New GCC projects in major and tier-II cities are also creating indirect jobs through support functions and local services.
Context behind the shift
India’s GCC expansion is rising as foreign companies adjust to tighter immigration rules in the US. UnearthIQ observed that stricter H1B processes have pushed firms to execute high-end technology work from India. Cities such as Pune, Noida, Chennai and Visakhapatnam are also attracting new investments.
Forward-looking outlook
The report said that multi-city GCC growth strengthens India’s position as a delivery hub for global technology work. State governments and the Centre continue to promote new setups as part of broader employment and capability-building plans.
