Big news: In 2026, Weichert is expanding its global footprint with the opening of our new office in Bangalore, India – an exciting milestone years in the making. And the timing couldn’t be more aligned with where the world of talent is headed.

India has rapidly emerged as one of the most important mobility markets in the world, drawing global organizations seeking highly skilled talent, innovation, and long-term growth. Our presence on the ground positions us — and our clients — at the center of that momentum.

Why India? Growth, Talent, and Global Impact

India has long been considered a critical market, but several factors are pushing this vibrant hub into the spotlight. Sustained economic growth is fueling job creation across major urban centers, while powerhouse sectors like technology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, fintech, and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) continue to expand their global influence.

Then there’s the talent story. With global labor shortages projected to reach 85 million+ workers by 2030, organizations are looking to markets that can deliver scale and skill. India’s large, young, highly educated, English-speaking workforce makes it one of the world’s most critical talent engines.

As companies rethink workforce models and build global delivery hubs, India is becoming a central pillar of international talent mobility. But with this surge comes complexity, and a growing need for sophisticated, locally based mobility support.

Why Now? Mobility Is Core to Talent Strategy

Mobility is increasingly viewed as a critical component of India’s talent strategy. Organizations are using mobility to close skills gaps, develop future leaders, and support the rapid growth of GCCs and specialized operations. Investment and inbound assignments are accelerating, and the flow of talent into — and within — India is intensifying.

At the same time, expectations are rising. Modern (effective) mobility programs must now balance:

  • Personalization and policy flexibility
  • Speed and digital integration
  • Compliance in an evolving regulatory environment
  • Deep cultural and regional understanding

Domestic mobility in India is also shifting. Companies are expanding beyond Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad into fast-growing Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities like Pune, Jaipur, Coimbatore, Indore, Sanand, and Ahmedabad, each with distinct cost, housing, and infrastructure dynamics. These moves demand India-specific policies and true local insight.

India’s rapid expansion as both a talent exporter and talent destination has created a market opportunity for sophisticated mobility services, including advisory, relocation management, immigration coordination, and cost‑efficient local delivery.

As Advisory Leader, Laura Levenson shared in our India Mobility podcast series, “Successful relocations happen when companies take the time to understand and respect these regional differences… This can best be accomplished with boots on the ground and local expertise.”

That’s where we come in!

The On-The-Ground Advantage

Companies moving talent here need more than someone to manage the logistics of moving from point A to B; they need partners who can manage complexity while delivering a human, personalized experience.

Inbound assignments call for strong compliance and tailored support. Domestic moves require localized policy structures and cost management. Across both, success depends on combining high-touch service, strong technology, India-specific policies, and deep local expertise.

Our Bangalore presence allows Weichert to deliver holistic, end-to-end mobility support with local knowledge and global standards, ensuring consistency, scalability, and care across inbound, outbound, and domestic moves.

What our Weichert Bangalore team delivers:

  • Local expertise to navigate regional complexity and fast‑changing regulations
  • Consistent, high‑quality service delivery aligned to your global standards
  • Scalable, cost‑efficient support for high‑volume and growth markets
  • Real‑time insights to help you stay ahead of mobility, housing, and workforce trends

For clients expanding into or within India, this means confidence: your employees are supported, your program stays compliant and efficient, and your talent strategy can grow in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

India is shaping the future of global talent. And now, Weichert is even better positioned to help you move with it.
