Bhartiya Urban plans to launch over 5K apartments under Nikoo Homes brand
Bhartiya Group's real estate development arm Bhartiya Urban is set to launch over 5,000 apartments under the Nikoo Homes brand across north, south, and central Bengaluru in the next 15 months, adding more than 9 million square feet of residential space.
The luxury homes will host premium amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness centre, among others.
Snehdeep Aggarwal, chairman of Bhartiya Group, said, 'With this expansion, we are excited to extend that experience to more people in Bangalore, adapting to the evolving aspirations of modern urban dwellers.'
The company's flagship project Nikoo Homes was launched within Bhartiya City, a project spanning across a 125-acre integrated township developed by Bhartiya Urban near Hebbal, featuring nearly 17 million square feet of built-up space.
Within the Bhartiya City ecosystem, over 6,600 families reside in Nikoo Homes, which offers a diverse mix of residences—from smart studios and lofts to four-bedroom apartments.
Last week, Bhartiya Urban launched Bhartiya Converge, a new venture aimed at supporting global organisations in setting up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India. The platform will offer end-to-end advisory, consultancy, operations, and management services to drive GCC enablement.

Swiss-Belgian choco giant launches its first Indian GCC in Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: Barry Callebaut, the Swiss-Belgian chocolate and cocoa giant, has inaugurated its first Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India. Located in the Orbit building, Hyderabad, the centre was launched by Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan on Thursday. The world's largest processor of cocoa, Barry Callebaut, employs around 13,000 people globally. Its new Hyderabad GCC joins three existing tech hubs in Malaysia, Poland and Mexico. Speaking to TNIE, Ranjan said the company has onboarded 150 employees initially and plans to scale up to 500 in the coming months. Barry Callebaut had considered Mumbai and Bengaluru before finalising Hyderabad. 'The city stood out for its talent pool and favourable sentiment among employees for relocation,' Ranjan said. He also urged the company to explore manufacturing expansion in South India. 'Their production facilities are currently in the west and north. With demand for chocolates growing in the south, setting up a unit here makes strategic sense,' he added. Barry Callebaut also operates a Chocolate Academy in Mumbai, which trains professionals in chocolate-making. The academy's head, present at the launch, confirmed plans to host skill development programmes, masterclasses and hackathons in Hyderabad, strengthening the city's culinary and confectionery ecosystem, according to a press release.

UK edtech Pearson to grow India team by 43% over next three years
UK-based Pearson plans to boost its workforce in India by about 43 per cent to 2,000, an executive told Reuters on Friday, months after the education firm named India one of its top three priority markets globally. "We will invest significantly in India. We have got three very strong locations and we want to grow in all of these different locations," said Vishaal Gupta, president of enterprise learning and skills division and chair of India at Pearson. Pearson India operates in education and assessment markets, targeting school goers, students aspiring for colleges overseas and corporate professionals. The company will hire across various functions, including local business operations and global tech, over the next three years, Gupta said, while ruling out the launch of any new office location. It currently has offices in Noida, Bengaluru and Chennai. Pearson's shares hit a 10-year high in February after the company reported a rise in profit and said deploying AI would help deliver more growth in 2025. India's ed-tech market, which was valued at $7.5 billion in 2024, is projected to grow more than three-fold to $29 billion by 2030, according to a Grant Thornton report. In India, Pearson competes with IDP Education and Educational Testing Service in overseas education segment, and with Upgrad and Coursera in the digital-learning market. Gupta said the company will focus on government, Indian conglomerates and global capability centers, where a shortage of skilled workers poses a challenge amid growing demand for AI upskilling. Global capability centers, commonly known as GCCs, are local offices set up by large global companies in India to support their global parent in daily operations, finance, R&D and product development functions. GCCs are projected to contribute 2 per cent to India's GDP by 2030, according to ICICI Securities, up from less than 1 per cent currently.
