Hyderabad Overtakes Bengaluru in New GCCs: Is India's IT Crown Shifting?

• Hyderabad is rapidly emerging as a preferred destination for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), challenging Bengaluru's long-held IT dominance.
• GoodReturns data shows Hyderabad secured 35 (41%) of 85 new greenfield GCCs in India in 2025, while Bengaluru attracted only 21.
• The city's appeal stems from rapid infrastructure development, lower cost of living, and innovation hubs like T-Hub and Genome Valley.
• Global companies like JPMorgan Chase, Oracle Corporation, AMD, and L’Oréal are establishing significant operations in Hyderabad.
• Bengaluru struggles with traffic, infrastructure pressure, and rising costs, potentially leading to a shift in future investments.
