Time to take off! Here’s why Airbus secured up to 800,000 sqft (!) of office space in Bengaluru. The Global Capability Center (GCC) landscape continues to grow and with it India’s strong momentum in office take-up, particularly in Bengaluru. Airbus now signed a massive lease agreement for 650,000 sqft and an option for additional 150,000 sqft to establish a new engineering center focused on the company’s global innovation and technology programs in Bengaluru, India. This is why: 1️⃣ Market access: Indigo’s and Air India’s order of over 1,000 aircrafts from Airbus underscores the region's growing importance 2️⃣ Tech Talent access: Bengaluru is India’s #1 tech hub and home to engineering and technology talent 3️⃣ Collaborative Ecosystem: Existing partnerships with local businesses like Tata Group and the Indian government confirm an important innovation and business environment In my view, Airbus’ decision validates India’s position as a hub for innovation and technology teams and its growing market. By establishing a larger GCC focused on global programs, Airbus reinforces the evolution of GCCs towards key innovation drivers. A promising signal for India's real estate and tech landscape.

Companies should think of the transit options before making such huge investments, they should take a timeline for the ongoing metro construction to be completed (its ongoing since 7-8 yrs now). The average travel time on the ORR road leading to Whitefield is 5 mins per km.
Fantastic. Looking forward
