Build Your GCC in Nagpur
Nagpur, Maharashtra's second capital and India's geographic center, has emerged as a strategic logistics technology and government IT hub — anchored by Mihan SEZ (home to Boeing India, Airbus Helicopters, ISRO, and Haldirams), a multimodal airport with direct international cargo connectivity, and the Maharashtra government's active industry promotion in the Vidarbha region. The city's central India location — at the intersection of NH-44 and NH-6, with 6 national highways converging — makes it India's optimal hub for supply chain and logistics technology GCCs serving the entire Indian market. Nagpur's IT sector, anchored by TCS's 5,000-person campus and Infosys's operations, is growing rapidly with Maharashtra's Push for Nagpur as a 'second Mumbai' under Devendra Fadnavis's economic vision.
