🇮🇳 Odisha — India GCC Hub

Build Your GCC in Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar, Odisha's capital city, is India's fastest-growing Tier 2 IT destination — driven by KIIT University (one of India's largest private technical universities with 30,000+ students), IIT Bhubaneswar's research ecosystem, and Odisha's aggressive IT investment promotion. The city hosts Infosys, TCS, Mindtree, and Wipro campuses, along with a growing cluster of product companies and GCCs. Odisha's unique strength is its overlap between IT and core industry technology — the state is home to India's largest steel and aluminium production clusters (SAIL, NALCO, Vedanta), creating specialist demand for industrial IoT, mining technology, and process automation GCCs. Bhubaneswar's cost profile is exceptional — Grade A office space at ₹35–50 per sqft/month versus ₹80–120 in Bangalore.
