Karnataka has partnered with Naukri.com to strengthen hiring for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) beyond Bengaluru, aiming to create wider employment opportunities across the state.
The initiative is expected to support Karnataka’s vision of decentralised growth by encouraging technology and corporate hiring in emerging urban centres.
GCC expansion beyond Bengaluru
Global Capability Centres, set up by multinational companies for technology, analytics, finance and support operations, have largely been concentrated in Bengaluru.
The new partnership seeks to promote hiring growth in other Karnataka cities by connecting employers with skilled local talent through Naukri’s recruitment platform.
Officials believe this move can reduce pressure on Bengaluru while creating balanced regional development.
More opportunities for youth
The collaboration is expected to benefit job seekers in cities such as Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi and Belagavi, where talent pools are steadily growing.
Experts say improved access to high-value jobs closer to home can help young professionals avoid migration while boosting local economies.
Karnataka’s tech leadership grows
Karnataka remains India’s leading technology destination, with Bengaluru hosting one of the largest GCC ecosystems in the country.
By extending this success to tier-2 cities, the state aims to attract more investment, improve infrastructure use and create inclusive employment growth.
Strong signal to industry
Industry observers say the tie-up sends a positive message to global companies looking for talent beyond major metros.
If successful, the model could help position Karnataka as a statewide innovation and employment hub rather than a Bengaluru-centric market
