The number

How many GCCs are in Bengaluru?

Bengaluru holds 1,384 of India’s 2,533 GCCs: 54.6% of the country, and more than Pune and Hyderabad combined.

It is where the silicon is. 116 of India’s 161 semiconductor and hardware GCCs sit here, 72% of the national total. Cybersecurity is almost as concentrated, at 71.7%.

It is also where the mandates are biggest. 225 of India’s 324 Gen 4 centres (those holding global P&L or decision rights) are in Bengaluru, and so are 87 of the 108 centres employing more than 5,000 people.

How we count. A GCC with offices in more than one city is counted in each of those cities, so the city figures add up to more than the national total. Every city, region and country total counts each GCC only once. A centre operating in Bengaluru and one other city appears in both, which is why India’s city figures add up to more than 2,533. 880 of the 2,533 GCCs in India have offices in more than one city.
