Hyderabad’s Hitec City Tapped as GCC Location
The GCC is likely to be set up in Hitec City, Hyderabad’s premium IT and business corridor. While most prime office spaces in the region are reportedly already sold out, Heineken is actively scouting available real estate to house the centre.
This latest move adds Heineken to a growing list of multinational corporations choosing Hyderabad as a strategic base for technology and operations in the Asia-Pacific region. Heineken’s presence will further strengthen Hyderabad’s reputation as a preferred GCC hub.
