Global Capability Centres Drive Demand for Flexible Workspaces and Data Centres in India

Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are reshaping India's office market, increasingly using flexible workspaces as long-term hubs rather than temporary setups. This shift drives rising demand and rents, notably in Hyderabad's Madhapur area, where GCCs accounted for 26% of office leasing in early 2026. Non-IT sectors like real estate and staffing are also investing in data centres and GCC practices to support growing technological needs, reflecting broader corporate expansion and infrastructure development across India.
