“Smaller cities are emerging as dynamic players in the Indian economy, driven by improved infrastructure, affordable land, skilled workforce and government initiatives,” said Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India.
As hybrid working becomes more common, companies are adopting the hub-and-spoke model and setting up branches in smaller cities. Rapid digitization is also beneficial for smaller cities, especially in the areas of warehousing and data centers. The proliferation of e-commerce is leading to a rise in fulfillment centers and distribution centers, alongside the development of smart infrastructure, improving investment prospects.
