Bengaluru among global tech powerhouses, says CBRE report
Bengaluru: Bengaluru, long celebrated as India's IT capital, has now earned a place among the world's top 12 technology powerhouses, according to a report by global real estate consulting firm CBRE. The report, titled Global Tech Talent Guidebook 2025, reveals that the city has surpassed 1 million tech professionals — making it one of the largest tech talent hubs in the Asia-Pacific region, alongside Beijing and Shanghai. The report evaluates 115 global markets based on the availability, quality, and cost of tech talent. These markets are categorized into three groups: Powerhouses (12 major hubs with deep and competitive talent pools), Established (63 mature markets with steady pipelines), and Emerging (40 growth-focused markets with development potential). Bengaluru has been ranked among the elite 'Powerhouse' category, joining the likes of Beijing, Boston, London, New York Metro, Paris, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Toronto. CBRE highlights Bengaluru's vast and growing tech workforce as a key factor for its global recognition. With over 1 million tech professionals, the city has become a leading destination for innovation, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence. 'Bengaluru's emergence as a global tech superpower reflects India's strategic depth in digital innovation, AI readiness, and talent capability,' said Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO of CBRE for India, Southeast Asia, West Asia, and Africa. He further added that other Indian cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur are also witnessing positive trends. These cities are contributing uniquely to India's diverse and resilient tech ecosystem — a strong indicator of the maturing Indian market. The report also notes that Bengaluru has the highest number of professionals specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) in India — putting it on par with established U.S. tech clusters like San Francisco and New York.

Indian Economy Poised To Remain Fastest-Growing One In FY26: SBI Report
New Delhi: The Indian economy is poised to remain the fastest-growing major economy in FY26 by leveraging its sound macroeconomic fundamentals, robust financial sector and commitment towards sustainable growth, according to a State Bank of India (SBI) report. With higher anticipated saving based on latest RBI annual report, the domestic finances will be sufficient to finance the anticipated growth and 'we do not expect demand induced pressure on prices in FY26,' said Dr Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Group Chief Economic Adviser, SBI. The downside to growth emanate from external and geopolitical factors, Ghosh added. From the expenditure side, the GDP growth of 7.4 per cent in Q4 was supported by strong uptick in the capital formation which registered a 9.4 per cent annual growth. The recovery in capital formation was on account of revival in core sector in Q4 as evident from high frequency indicators. The overall growth in capital formation for FY25 now stands 7.1 per cent. India's economy grew by 7.4 per cent in Q4 FY25 as against 8.4 per cent growth in same quarter last fiscal. Riding on Q4 numbers, the annual FY25 growth is estimated at 6.5 per cent. Almost all sectors exhibited better growth numbers in Q4 FY25. While industry grew by 6.5 per cent, the services sector grew by 7.3 per cent in Q4. Within industry during Q4, construction sector grew by whopping 10.8 per cent (6-quarters high) and manufacturing sector increased by 4.8 per cent. The private consumption maintained its health run in Q4 although there was sequential slow rate of growth in Q4. Overall, the private consumption registered a growth of 7.2 per cent for FY25. The export demand was healthy for whole year, registering a growth of 6.3 per cent, while the imports contracted for the whole year by 3.7 per cent. According to the SBI report, this growth was front-loaded because of export push amidst US tariffs uncertainty. The highest contraction in imports happened in Q4 at 12.7 per cent was another factor in pulling the overall GDP growth to 7.2 per cent in Q4.
