We have seen in the budget that a national GCC policy is on the anvil. Hyderabad’s performance across all parameters of growth have been one of the best in the country and a large part of this growth has come from GCCs” He further stressed on the need of ‘decentralization’, and Government of Telangana’s Tier 2 City policy that has been framed to incentivize companies to set up offices outside of the city of Hyderabad.

Driven by key factors such as robust infrastructure, cutting-edge innovation, a thriving talent ecosystem, and business-friendly policies, the future holds immense promise.
Tier 1 cities will play a pivotal role in accelerating this momentum, with Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and NCR already home to 120,000+ AI/ML professionals.
