Build Your GCC in Mysore
Mysore (Mysuru), Karnataka's cultural capital, is uniquely positioned as Bangalore's most developed satellite city — home to Infosys's 337-acre global training campus (the world's largest corporate training facility), which has established Mysore's IT infrastructure and talent pipeline over two decades. The Bangalore-Mysore Expressway (117km, ~90 minutes) enables daily commuting between the two cities, making Mysore's talent pool functionally part of Bangalore's ecosystem at 25–30% lower compensation. Karnataka's Tier 2 city policy classifies Mysore with enhanced incentives versus Bangalore, including higher SGST reimbursement and capital subsidy — creating a genuine financial incentive to choose Mysore over Bangalore for new GCC setups. Mysore's quality of life — UNESCO World Heritage temples, India's cleanest streets, and affordable Grade A office space at ₹35–50/sqft — produces the lowest GCC attrition in Karnataka.
