Hyderabad GCC FAQs

Is the talent pool as good as Bangalore?

It is rapidly catching up. While Bangalore has more "deep tech" (AI/Research) talent, Hyderabad has ample supply of excellent full-stack, cloud, and enterprise software engineers.

Where should we open our office?

HITEC City is the prime choice for tech. The Financial District (Gachibowli) is preferred for Banking, Fintech, and larger campuses due to availability of large land parcels.

What major US companies are here?

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook (Meta), Apple, Uber, and Qualcomm all have their largest offices outside the US in Hyderabad.

Is it easier to get office space here?

Yes, Hyderabad currently has better availability of large, contiguous floor plates in Grade-A buildings compared to Bangalore's tighter vacancy rates.

How good is the international airport?

Hyderabad's RGI Airport is consistently ranked among the world's best. It is less congested than Bangalore and offers excellent direct connectivity to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

What about power and water stability?

Hyderabad has seen significant infrastructure investments, ensuring reliable 24/7 power supply for IT corridors, which historically was an advantage over other southern cities.
