The new office is massive, occupying 1.56 lakh square feet, and has been designated as McDonald's single largest centre outside its home base in the US. It is strategically positioned to serve as the Global Hub for Innovation and Enterprise Operations, focusing on technology, data analytics, finance, and other corporate functions that are crucial to the brand's worldwide operations.
The move is expected to serve as a major economic booster for the region. The Global Capability Centre (GCC) is set to directly create employment opportunities for over 1,200 highly skilled professionals.
Furthermore, this significant corporate investment is anticipated to have a positive ripple effect on allied sectors, including commercial real estate, services, and logistics, thereby stimulating broader economic growth across the state.
