HYDERABAD/BENGALURU: Costco is making its first major tech footprint in India, joining a wave of global retailers turning to the country for talent and scale.

The U.S.-based retail giant will set up its inaugural global capability centre (GCC) in Hyderabad, according to two people familiar with the development. The facility is expected to employ around 1,000 people in its initial phase and scale up over time.

The Hyderabad centre will support Costco's global operations and is likely to focus on technology, data analytics, and back-end business functions.

The move reflects a broader trend among global retailers and Fortune 500 companies who are increasingly leveraging India's skilled workforce to power digital transformation, reduce costs, and support international business units.

Costco's decision adds to the growing list of U.S. retail and tech companies expanding in India, including Walmart, Amazon, and Target. All of these companies have significant back-end and support operations in the country.
