Bengaluru Leads the Way in Global Capability Centres Leasing in India
Real Estate Pune:Bengaluru has emerged as the leading city in India for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) leasing, accounting for 40% of the total leasing activity between 2022 and H1 2024. According to a report by CBRE- Zyoin, GCCs leased nearly 53 million square feet of office space across six major cities in India during this period.

Bengaluru's dominance in the GCC leasing market can be attributed to its robust talent pool, mature technology ecosystem, and thriving startup landscape. These factors have made the city an attractive destination for GCCs looking to set up shop in India.

The report highlights that Hyderabad accounted for the second highest leasing activity by GCCs, with a 21% share. Chennai and Pune followed closely, with 14% and 12% shares, respectively. The growth of GCCs in India has been driven by a skilled workforce, cost efficiency, and a conducive business climate.

The future looks promising for GCCs in India, with the life sciences, automobiles, and aerospace sectors expected to expand their presence in the country. With a strategic roadmap for 2024 GCC development, India is poised to spearhead the next wave of globalization.

Historically, technology and BFSI corporates have been the primary GCC office occupiers in India. However, there is a shift towards niche firms, including hedge funds and private equity firms, expanding their presence in India. Life sciences and engineering and manufacturing GCCs are also exhibiting an increasing appetite for expansion in the country.

Regional trends suggest that Bengaluru's lead amongst the six cities is due to its dominant talent pool, mature technology ecosystem, and thriving start-up landscape. While technology and BFSI sectors remain the primary demand drivers, retail, aerospace, semiconductor, and life sciences companies are establishing niche GCCs.

Karnataka's upcoming GCC policy is expected to catalyze GCC setups and job creation in Bengaluru.
