Brookfield has decided to invest $1 billion in the establishment of the global InVenture competency center in Mumbai, India. This large-scale project has already attracted the attention of one of the leading multinational banks, which will become a tenant of the future office spaces. Such interest confirms the growing popularity of the Indian market among international companies, especially for the establishment of office hubs and back-office operations.

Development of Global Competency Centers in India
Brookfield’s investment reflects the increasing role of India as a key player in the global capability center (GCC) market. International companies are increasingly relocating their data processing, financial analysis, risk management, IT support, and other essential business functions to this country. This allows for enhanced operational efficiency and reduced operational costs.
The construction of the new center will take place in collaboration with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and will cover approximately six acres of land. The total office space will reach about 2 million square feet, which, according to Brookfield, will make this center the largest of its kind in Asia. The lease contract is set for 20 years, ensuring stability and predictability for future tenants.
India – A New Business Hub for Global Companies
Mumbai, as India’s leading financial center, has long been known for its concentration of IT and business service companies, including Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and numerous international banks. Analysts estimate that over the past five years, the number of global competency centers in India has more than doubled, and by 2030, it could exceed 1,000 such facilities.
Brookfield already owns real estate in Mumbai worth over $4 billion, including commercial complexes and office buildings. This will enable the company to organically integrate the new InVenture center into its existing portfolio.
Experts note that significant investments in Indian global competency centers reflect the influx of foreign capital into the commercial real estate sector and create thousands of jobs for highly skilled professionals, strengthening India’s position as a global business hub.
