Hyderabad, October 09, 2025: Xpheno, a leading specialist staffing firm, today unveiled its latest workforce research report titled “Telangana: The Next-Gen GCC Powerhouse”. The report spotlights the state’s remarkable evolution into a global business magnet — driven by a high-quality talent base, robust migration trends, and an increasingly diversified GCC landscape.
According to the report, Hyderabad has emerged as the most sought-after destination for new Greenfield GCCs, attracting 40% of all such centers set up in India over the last three years — surpassing Bengaluru’s 33% share during the same period. This highlights Telangana’s growing strategic importance on the national and global map of capability centers.
