The Government of Karnataka has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Naukri.com to provide newly established GCCs with complimentary hiring support for the first 90 days of operations.
The initiative, facilitated through the Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society (KITS), will offer eligible GCCs a customised starter package that includes employer branding support, assisted hiring services, and premium talent sourcing tools at no cost during their early setup phase.
The partnership aims to reduce time-to-hire and help multinational companies establish teams faster as they set up operations in the state. It also aligns with Karnataka’s GCC policy and the KATALYST platform, the state’s ease-of-doing-business initiative for capability centres.
Priyank Kharge said Karnataka’s leadership in the GCC sector is driven by its deep talent pool and strong innovation ecosystem. He added that the partnership with Naukri.com would enable faster and more efficient access to skilled professionals.
A key focus of the collaboration is to promote distributed growth beyond Bengaluru by supporting GCC expansion in cities such as Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi, Belagavi, Kalaburagi, Tumakuru, and Shivamogga.
The two-year agreement reflects Karnataka’s continued efforts to attract global investments while creating a wider technology talent network across the state.
