The Story in Brief
JLL Business Services opened a 1.2 lakh sq. ft. global capability centre in Hyderabad on Thursday, its second Indian hub after Gurugram. The facility, in Financial District, already has more than 150 employees and is planned to reach 1,600 staff over the next two years, the Times of India reports. Hiring will cover finance, human resources, technology support, project management, investment modelling, AI operations and prompt engineering.
Telangana IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu said the State had attracted nearly 150 GCCs in the past 20 months, creating more than 1.5 lakh high-value technology jobs. The Times of India reports that he is targeting another 100-plus GCCs this year. JLL said Hyderabad accounted for 16% of India’s GCC leasing activity from 2024 to mid-2026.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that every new GCC automatically creates secure, high-value work. That is too neat. JLL’s planned 1,600 roles are real, but the minister’s wider job and investment claims need independent tracking, especially as AI and restructuring change hiring needs. The opposite claim, that automation makes such centres pointless, is also lazy. The useful test is whether Hyderabad reaches the promised headcount and how many roles remain after two years.
