Six metros, side by side

same probes, same publish gates

Every figure comes from our talent graph: pool counts from city probes, salaries from disclosed records behind a 25-record publish gate. Each city page ranks the directory for that city with local pay data.

City Tracked professionals Companies with 25+ people Software engineer median Senior (6+ yrs) median City page
Bangalore 7.1M+ 1,000+ ₹15.7L ₹32.5L GCC in Bangalore
Hyderabad 5.3M+ 700+ ₹10.4L ₹24.2L GCC in Hyderabad
Chennai 4.1M+ 600+ ₹7.6L ₹19.1L GCC in Chennai
Mumbai 5.8M+ 700+ ₹9.7L ₹22.8L GCC in Mumbai
Pune 2.4M+ 500+ ₹9.5L ₹22.3L GCC in Pune
Delhi 5M+ 700+ ₹14.1L ₹24L GCC in Delhi

Pool depth for your roles

A city median matters less than depth in the specific roles you hire. Check the per-role pools on each city page before the headline numbers.

Pay against competition

Deeper markets pay more because more companies compete for the same people. Bangalore is the deepest pool and prices like it.

Who is already there

The directory above shows who you would hire from, and who will hire from you. That churn is a feature of deep markets, not a bug.

From city choice to your own entity

Wherever you build, the setup mechanics are the same. We run them end to end: hiring, workspace, payroll, and entity setup in parallel, then the team transfers to your entity and we stay on.

01

Weeks to a working team

Your team starts under managed employment while the entity is set up in parallel, so you are not waiting on incorporation to hire.

02

4 to 6 months to your entity

Private Limited incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST, PF, ESIC, banking, statutory auditor: filed in your company's name, then handed over.

03

Break-even at 25 people

Past 25 people, entity economics beat managed employment, and the gap widens with every hire.

04

One resident director

Indian law requires one India-resident director (182+ days a year). We provide one during the build and help you appoint your own.

06

Common questions

A global capability center is an India centre that a company headquartered outside India owns and runs itself, staffed by its own employees, doing work for its own group rather than for outside customers. Global capability centres and global capability centers are the same thing, spelled the British and the American way. The industry also calls them global in-house centres or captive centres. Where a centre does in-house work for its parent and also sells delivery to outside clients, our directory keeps it but tags it services-led.

2,117 in FY2026, employing 2.36 million people, on Zinnov and nasscom's count. We verify 536 global capability centers across India, each traced to a company statement or business press we read, and every one of them renders as a profile card in the directory above, filterable by city, sector, team size and model. Each city page ranks the same set for that city.

Yes. We track 48 new and upcoming global capability centres and expansions announced across Indian cities since January 2025 that we could trace to a company statement or a named business publication, each listed above with its source. JLL counts over 200 new GCCs entering India in the two years to early 2026.

Bangalore, with 7.1M+ tracked professionals and 1,000+ companies holding 25 or more people there. It is also the most competitive market to hire in.

Among the metros where our records clear the publish gate, Chennai has the lowest software engineer median at ₹7.6L annual CTC. Medians move with role mix and seniority, so compare per role on each city page.

No. Your team starts under managed employment, which lets you hire across cities before the entity's registered office is fixed. Many teams also run partly remote.

Typically 4 to 6 months for full incorporation, compliance registration, and bank accounts. Your team starts from day one under managed employment while the entity is set up in parallel.
