New Delhi, February 18: A recent report reveals that Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR together account for over 50% of artificial intelligence (AI) jobs in India, with Bengaluru holding a significant 25.4% share.
According to a report by CBRE South Asia Private Limited, an analysis of more than 64,500 active job listings on job portals as of December 2025 shows that Delhi-NCR contributes 24.8%, while Mumbai accounts for 19.2%.
These three cities collectively house nearly 70% of the country’s AI-related job opportunities. The report identifies engineering (software and quality assurance), data science and analytics, and customer success, service, and operations as the top three sectors driving AI recruitment.
The company notes that this trend indicates AI is no longer limited to technological advancements but is increasingly being utilized in front-end business operations.
The report states, “India is not just writing code for AI; it is also determining how to implement and operate it for global consumers.”
The rise in AI-related jobs is also impacting the demand for office space. In 2025, Bengaluru led office leasing with a 26% share, with total leasing activity reaching 82.6 million square feet.
Furthermore, Bengaluru captured over one-third of the total Global Capability Center (GCC) leasing activity in the country.
In Delhi-NCR, the demand for AI is strong not only in IT but also across various sectors such as consulting, fintech, healthcare, and the public sector.
Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO of CBRE (India, Southeast Asia, and MEA), stated that AI is no longer just a topic of discussion; it has become a crucial part of India’s economic and infrastructure development narrative.
He emphasized that the growing demand for AI professionals is not merely a trend in employment but signifies that global companies now view India not just as a service provider but as a complete innovation hub. This shift will reshape India’s economic structure and its position in the global digital value chain.
