Hyderabad, the vibrant capital of Telangana, has emerged as the predominant destination for Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India, as revealed by the recent Xpheno report. The city has successfully attracted a whopping 40% of the total new GCCs established in the country over the past two-and-a-half years.
Out of 164 new GCCs set up across India, an impressive count of 64 chose Hyderabad as their base. Simply put, nearly two out of every five new GCCs have anchored themselves in this bustling city.
But it’s not just the quantity that’s noteworthy. The quality of companies that have marked their presence in the city is equally impressive. In 2025 alone, a host of global giants have set up their GCCs in Hyderabad, making it truly “the year of GCCs” for the city.
The list of these multinational companies includes names like:
- Eli Lilly
- Vanguard
- T-Mobile

- Costco
- P&G
- Marriott
- American Airlines
- Nationwide Insurance
- Dai-Ichi

With the influx of these global players, a surge in office leasing is anticipated as these centers plan to expand in the forthcoming years. The city’s metro expansion and infrastructure upgrades are projected to play a critical role in supporting this sustained growth.
Hyderabad’s strategic position in the GCC landscape of India is marked by impressive numbers and quality of companies. With continual infrastructural development and business-friendly policies, the city is poised to maintain its leadership position in the GCC panorama in the coming years.
