What makes GCCs pick Mysuru?

Nammu Mysuru is attractive to GCCs because of the readily available talent pool, disciplined workforce, better living conditions compared to Metros, salubrious climate, and well-developed infrastructure – Expressway connectivity to Bangaluru, airport under expansion, railway connectivity to critical commercial centers, and others. 

Bangaluru has the lion’s share of GCCs in India, and there will be a spillover effect into Mysuru, which is just 140 km away. The satellite centers of these GCCs in Bangaluru will be the first to anchor in Mysuru. Already IBM’s client innovation center has kick-started this trend and will only continue. 

Karnataka’s new GCC policy initiative

Karnataka government has created a new GCC policy to create the IT/ GCC ecosystem in Tier 2 cities – Mysuru, Hubli, Mangaluru, and Belagavi. The objective is to incentivize starting IT/ GCC/ ESDM companies in these Tier 2 cities. Also, there is a plan to create 5000 startups in these cities by 2026. The government is planning to develop schemes similar to PLI (production-linked initiatives) to attract GCC and chip design companies to the state in big numbers.
