Tech sector has a significant share in India’s top office spaces
This Colliers report said that tech occupiers continue to be a significant part of the demand for office space in India’s top seven cities, leading to a surge in demand for Grade A space in both traditional and flex space over the past years. During the first half of 2025, tech occupiers leased more than 10 million square feet of office space across the top 7 cities, driving a 40 per cent increase in demand for traditional space. Nearly half of the demand for flex space also came from tech firms. The dominance of the tech sector is due to India’s deep talent ecosystem, established IT infrastructure, and low operating and talent costs, making it an ideal hub for global tech firms.
Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to be the preferred tech destinations in India, followed by other key markets. All of these attract global tech companies with the availability of skilled talent and a mature tech ecosystem. Vimal Nadar, National Director and Head of Research, Colliers India, said tech businesses contributed 41 per cent or 52 lakh sq ft of total GCC leasing in the first half of 2025. Interestingly, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad collectively contributed over 85 per cent of this demand. As global companies continue to expand and grow, tech GCCs are set to drive the demand for office space in India, primarily due to the cost difference compared to global counterparts.
