India’s rise as a global technology powerhouse has gained even more momentum in 2025. According to a recent report by Colliers, the country now ranks among the world’s top 10 tech markets, with a standout performance in talent availability. In the Asia-Pacific region, six Indian cities have made it to the top ten list for tech talent acquisition, confirming India’s strategic position as both a technology hub and an innovation engine.

Leading this transformation are cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad, which now dominate not only the Indian tech landscape but also the Asia-Pacific region in terms of workforce depth and office space demand. Bengaluru, long dubbed India’s Silicon Valley, continues to drive tech leasing activity alongside Hyderabad, with both cities accounting for nearly half of the total office space uptake by technology firms during the first half of 2025.

The report outlines how India’s top tech cities are responsible for 69 percent of Asia-Pacific’s total tech talent pool. The scale and skill of India’s workforce, combined with cost competitiveness and robust infrastructure, have helped position the country as a preferred destination for multinational tech companies looking to expand operations. In fact, tech occupiers in India leased more than 10 million square feet of office space across the top seven cities in the first half of 2025 alone, representing 40 percent of conventional space demand.

India’s office market continues to gain traction among global enterprises thanks to the availability of high-grade office spaces, well-developed IT ecosystems, and a favorable business environment. This has not only attracted foreign investment but also fueled the growth of Global Capability Centres or GCCs. These centres, once limited to back-office roles, have evolved into strategic hubs focused on research, development, and technological innovation.

GCCs in the tech sector played a critical role in shaping India’s commercial real estate dynamics in 2025, leasing over 5.2 million square feet and accounting for 41 percent of total GCC leasing. The country’s ability to combine innovation with scalability has made it an ideal base for companies seeking long-term, cost-efficient growth in a competitive global economy.

With cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and Delhi NCR continuing to attract top-tier talent and corporate interest, India’s trajectory in the global tech arena seems firmly upward. As global firms look to realign their digital and AI-driven priorities, India’s deep talent pipeline, mature tech ecosystem, and infrastructure readiness are set to offer a competitive edge for years to come.
