UP has set a target of 500 GCCs by 2028

CM Yogi is flying to hashtag#Bengaluru to pitch Uttar Pradesh as India's next GCC destination. UP has set a target of 500 GCCs by 2028 — and is now pushing beyond Noida into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Bareilly, Prayagraj, and Agra. The Chief Minister will hold roundtables with MNCs and investors — with a dedicated session for companies exploring GCC setups in UP. This is the story nobody expected in 2026. Bihar is pitching Google. UP is pitching everyone. India's GCC map is being redrawn — city by city, state by state. 📍 GCC ERA Insight: The states winning the next GCC wave aren't competing on cost alone — they're competing on infrastructure, law & order, talent pipelines, and policy speed. UP's expressway network, 9 airports, and defence corridor are the real pitch. At @GCC ERA we track 1,800+ GCCs — the professionals who position themselves in emerging state GCC clusters today will have the fastest career growth curves by 2028. Would you consider a GCC role in Lucknow or Varanasi if the right company came?
