Report Finds Managed Offices as the Top Pick for GCC Growth in India

India has become a magnet for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) over the last decade. From Fortune 500 companies to emerging global tech players, the country has witnessed an explosion in demand for high-quality, scalable office spaces. As more GCCs look to establish or expand their footprint in India, one trend stands out: Managed office spaces are fast emerging as the go-to choice for setting up operations efficiently and at scale.

In this blog, we dive deep into why managed offices are taking the lead, what makes them ideal for GCC growth, and how GoodWorks Cowork is perfectly positioned to serve this demand across Bangalore and beyond.

India: A Booming Hub for GCCs

According to recent industry reports, India hosts over 1,580 GCCs, employing more than 1.6 million professionals. These centres are no longer limited to IT support they are now strategic hubs for AI, analytics, engineering, product development, and digital transformation.

As GCCs move up the value chain, their workspace needs have evolved. Today’s global centres demand:

  • Speed to market
  • Compliance and data security
  • Brand-consistent work environments
  • Scalable infrastructure

This is where managed office space in India has become a game-changer.

What Are Managed Offices and Why Are GCCs Choosing Them?

Managed offices are fully serviced, private office spaces designed, built, and maintained by a third-party workspace provider. Unlike traditional leases, managed offices offer:

  • Customizable layouts
  • End-to-end management (IT, security, maintenance)
  • Transparent, all-inclusive pricing
  • Quick setup and scalability

For GCCs setting up in new geographies, managed offices eliminate the complexities of sourcing, building, and managing infrastructure letting them focus entirely on operations.

Key Benefits for GCCs:

  1. Faster Go-to-Market Time
  2. High Compliance with Global Standards
  3. Dedicated Spaces with Brand Identity
  4. Built-in Facility Management
  5. Scalable Across Cities

The shift to managed office spaces reflects a strategic realignment in how global firms approach real estate prioritizing agility, experience, and operational efficiency.

Report Insights: Why Managed Offices Are Outpacing Traditional Leases

According to a joint industry report by NASSCOM and ANAROCK (2024):

  • Over 60% of new GCC entrants opted for managed office solutions in Tier-1 cities.
  • Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune top the list of preferred cities for managed workspace expansion.
  • Key sectors leading adoption: BFSI, Pharma, SaaS, and Engineering R&D.

The rise in new GCC in Hyderabad and other Indian metros is pushing demand for agile, premium office infrastructure. Providers offering enterprise-grade managed office space are becoming strategic partners in India’s global business growth.
