JLL Strengthens India GCC Presence with New Hyderabad Hub, Targets 1,600 Employees

Global commercial real estate services firm JLL has expanded its Global Capability Center (GCC) footprint in India with the inauguration of a new 120,000-square-foot facility in Hyderabad’s Financial District. The company plans to scale the center to approximately 1,600 employees over the next two years, reinforcing Hyderabad’s growing status as a preferred destination for global capability centers.

JLL Business Services to Drive Global Operations

The Hyderabad facility will operate under JLL Business Services (JBS), the company’s integrated global operations platform. The center will support a wide range of business functions, including finance, human resources, project management, lease administration, business process optimization, advanced analytics, and technology-enabled services for JLL’s worldwide operations.

The new center becomes JLL’s second GCC in India after Gurugram and its sixth globally, joining existing operations in locations such as Dalian, Manila, Warsaw, and Costa Rica.

Hyderabad Emerges as a Strategic GCC Destination

The inauguration highlights Hyderabad’s continued rise as a major GCC hub. The city has attracted significant investments from multinational corporations seeking access to skilled talent, advanced infrastructure, and a favorable business environment. Hyderabad’s Financial District has become a focal point for technology, analytics, and business operations centers serving global enterprises.

The center was inaugurated by Telangana IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu, underscoring the state’s commitment to strengthening its position in India’s rapidly expanding GCC ecosystem.

Major Hiring Plans Ahead

JLL’s expansion will create approximately 1,600 high-skilled jobs over the coming years, spanning technology, analytics, finance, operations, and business support functions. The recruitment drive reflects the company’s long-term confidence in India’s talent ecosystem and Hyderabad’s ability to support large-scale global operations.

The move aligns with a broader trend of multinational companies expanding their GCC presence in India to support digital transformation, operational excellence, and innovation initiatives. India’s GCC sector continues to experience strong growth, with organizations increasingly viewing these centers as strategic business enablers rather than traditional back-office operations.

What This Means for India’s GCC Landscape

JLL’s latest investment reinforces the momentum of India’s GCC market, particularly in Hyderabad, which is witnessing increased interest from global organizations across industries. As companies seek scalable talent pools and technology-driven operational capabilities, Hyderabad is emerging as one of the country’s most competitive locations for future GCC expansion.

With the launch of its new Hyderabad center and plans to grow to 1,600 employees, JLL is positioning India as a critical component of its global service delivery strategy while contributing to the continued evolution of the country’s GCC ecosystem.
