Decoding the GCC Surge: Insights into India’s Transforming Workspace Landscape

India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem is expanding at an exceptional pace, reshaping the country’s office demand dynamics. Between 2022 and 2025, GCCs leased more than 100 million sq. ft. of office space, culminating in ~39% of total leasing activity in 2025. This growth reflects a decisive shift towards deeper technology, engineering, analytics, and product-focused mandates that require high-quality, future-ready workspaces.

Tier-I cities continue to anchor GCC strategy, while Tier II locations are emerging as important extensions of enterprise footprints. Improving connectivity, a strong talent base, meaningful cost advantages, and higher retention rates are positioning these markets as scalable hubs within distributed operating models. CBRE Research’s Decoding the GCC Surge: Insights into India’s Transforming Workspace Landscape provides an assessment of these shifts, covering market activity across major cities. The findings highlight how India’s maturing talent ecosystem and evolving workspace supply are enabling GCCs to take on more strategic, innovation-driven roles.
