Netflix has set up its office in Hyderabad, leasing 41,000 sq ft at Capitaland ITPH, HITEC City. With this, Hyderabad becomes one of the few cities globally to host all FAANG companies—Meta, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Netflix—affirming its status as a global tech powerhouse and investment-friendly innovation hub.
When Netflix starts rolling its cameras, the world usually watches. But this time, it’s Hyderabad that has captured the spotlight. The global streaming giant has officially set up shop in the city, marking a defining moment in Hyderabad’s journey from India’s tech hopeful to global powerhouse.
In a landmark move, Netflix has leased 41,000 square feet at Capitaland ITPH Block A in HITEC City, one of the city’s most sought-after business districts. This isn’t just another corporate address — it’s a signal. A signal that Hyderabad’s story of transformation is now impossible to ignore.
Because with Netflix’s arrival, Hyderabad has achieved something few cities in the world can boast: it now hosts the full FAANG lineup — Facebook (Meta), Amazon, Apple, Google, and Netflix. That’s a constellation of the world’s most valuable tech companies orbiting one Indian city.
From Ambition to Arrival
For years, Hyderabad has been described in glowing terms — the “City of Pearls,” the “Pharma Capital,” the “Next Silicon Valley.” But labels don’t build legacies; ecosystems do. And what has quietly emerged in this southern capital is exactly that: a world-class ecosystem where global tech dreams find both a base and a future.
When Netflix scouts for new locations, it isn’t just looking for office space. It’s searching for the right blend of talent, infrastructure, creativity, and stability. Hyderabad ticks every box. Over the last decade, the city has rewritten its destiny with a rare mix of ambition and discipline. Today, it’s not merely competing with Bengaluru or Gurugram — it’s leading India’s global tech narrative.
“Netflix’s decision reinforces what many of us in the ecosystem already know,” says an industry analyst familiar with Hyderabad’s investment patterns. “This city has cracked the formula — strong governance, deep talent, and a lifestyle that works for both multinational executives and creative minds.”
Why Hyderabad, Why Now?
The timing of Netflix’s entry feels just right. India’s streaming market is booming, and the competition for content creation, localisation, and technology innovation is heating up. Hyderabad, meanwhile, offers a dynamic confluence of engineering excellence and creative capability.
From visual effects studios to AI-driven media analytics startups, the city’s media-tech landscape is fast evolving. For Netflix — a company that lives at the crossroads of entertainment and technology — Hyderabad isn’t just a cost-efficient choice; it’s a strategic one.
The state of Telangana, led by its progressive industrial policies, has consistently prioritised ease of doing business. Investors often cite the single-window clearance system, proactive state leadership, and world-class infrastructure as major draws. Add to that the city’s reliable power supply, global connectivity, and cosmopolitan work culture, and you begin to understand why global giants keep landing here.
The Company It Keeps
Netflix joins a glittering roster of global names that have chosen Hyderabad as their Indian or regional base. The list reads like a who’s who of the global economy: Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Google, Qualcomm, Salesforce, Uber, Micron, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Roche, and many more.
In total, the city now hosts over 300 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) — specialised innovation and operations units that drive global strategies for multinational companies. These centres don’t just execute; they invent, analyse, and strategise for global markets.
Hyderabad’s growing reputation as a safe, stable, and scalable city has helped it emerge as a serious rival to global tech capitals like Singapore, Dublin, and Austin. But unlike many of those, Hyderabad’s cost of living remains accessible, and its talent pipeline continues to expand through top universities and skill-development initiatives.
Beyond Tech: A City of Many Worlds
While the world recognises Hyderabad as a tech hub, it is also the beating heart of India’s life sciences industry. The Genome Valley cluster north of the city has evolved into one of Asia’s leading biotech and pharma zones, hosting global giants in drug development, diagnostics, and vaccine research.
This dual strength — in technology and life sciences — gives Hyderabad a unique advantage. It’s a city that codes by day and cures by night. For companies like Netflix that increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making, AI modelling, and health-focused storytelling, this intellectual diversity is an asset.
A Creative Turn for the City
Netflix’s arrival also gives Hyderabad’s creative industries something to cheer about. For a city that has long powered Tollywood — one of the world’s largest film industries — the presence of a global streaming titan could open new avenues for collaboration.
The Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) ecosystem, already gaining traction in Telangana, could see an accelerated push. Content creators, production studios, and tech developers may soon find new opportunities to collaborate directly with Netflix teams based in Hyderabad, blending local storytelling with global reach.
“It’s the perfect convergence,” says a local filmmaker based in the city’s Film Nagar. “We have the talent, the stories, and the technology. What we needed was proximity to a global platform like Netflix. Now it’s here.”
The FAANG Effect
Having the complete FAANG presence in one city is not just a vanity metric — it’s a validation of Hyderabad’s global status. Each of these companies brings with it high-value jobs, global best practices, and international visibility. Together, they create a gravitational pull that attracts startups, investors, and professionals from across the world.
For young engineers, designers, and analysts, this concentration of global brands transforms Hyderabad into a career launchpad. For the city, it means sustained economic growth, urban development, and a continued influx of ideas and innovation.
The City that Leads
There’s a quiet confidence to Hyderabad these days — the kind that comes from years of consistent progress rather than overnight success. The skyline has changed, the traffic has grown, but the spirit of the city remains rooted in inclusivity and pragmatism.
From its tech corridors in Gachibowli and HITEC City to its growing creative districts, Hyderabad today feels like a place where global meets grounded. It’s a city that builds data centers and dreams, offices and opportunities.
With Netflix rolling into town, Hyderabad’s narrative feels cinematic — a sweeping story of ambition, resilience, and reinvention. What started as a local IT experiment two decades ago has become a global phenomenon, with Hyderabad now counted among the world’s elite innovation cities.
The city’s message to the world is clear: Hyderabad is no longer just competing. It’s leading.
And as the FAANG logos shine from its skyline, one can’t help but feel that this is only the beginning of a blockbuster new chapter.
