The number

How many GCCs are in Pune?

Pune is India’s second-largest GCC city, with 559 centres, 22.1% of the national total, narrowly ahead of Hyderabad.

It is the automotive capital. 57 of India’s 128 automotive GCCs are in Pune, 44.5%, alongside 65 industrial and manufacturing centres.

Engineering is the job. 424 of Pune’s 559 centres run engineering or R&D work, 75.8%, against 54% in Mumbai, and 74 run manufacturing technology.

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 Pune 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.
