These transactions reflect a sustained effort to scale India-based teams supporting high-value, global business processes.
Market Implications
The deal emphasizes several key GCC market trends:
- Hyderabad’s rise as a top GCC destination, driven by talent access, infrastructure, and competitive commercial real estate
- Growing BFSI demand for managed workspace solutions and premium office parks
