Accenture has signed a large office lease worth about ₹325 crore in Pune, showing its long-term focus on India’s tech sector. The company has taken more than 6 lakh square feet at Phoenix Millennium Towers, a fast-growing business area in Baner.
The lease runs for over 15 years and is one of the biggest office deals in Pune this year. The space will be used for a new global capability centre (GCC). Accenture plans to move in step by step, with full operations likely by mid-year.
Long-term focus on India
The size and length of the deal show strong and steady investment in India’s tech and delivery work. The new centre will support global projects, especially in areas like tech development, innovation, and business change.
Many global firms are now building up their presence in India through GCCs. These centres are no longer just for support work. They now handle complex and high-skill tasks that are key to company goals.
The Pune centre is expected to focus on artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics, and digital engineering—areas that are now central to business success.
Pune’s growing role as a tech hub
Accenture’s move adds to Pune’s rise as a top choice for global tech companies. Areas like Baner and Hinjewadi are seeing more office projects and large tenants.
Pune offers a strong talent base, lower costs than cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai, and better infrastructure. These factors are pushing companies to expand here instead of only relying on older tech hubs.

Recent trends show Pune is becoming a key location for GCC growth, especially for firms looking for both scale and skilled workers.
Jobs and local growth
The new centre is likely to create many jobs in areas such as software, AI, data science, and cloud services. It should also boost the local real estate market and support nearby businesses.
This move reflects a wider trend of global companies growing both their size and skill base in India. As GCCs take on more important roles, cities like Pune will play a bigger part in global tech and business work.
Overall, the deal shows continued confidence in India’s growth, with companies investing in talent, infrastructure, and advanced digital work.
