    US-Based UKG Expands Pune Office, Building on Its Centre of Excellence

    Pune: US-based workforce management and HR technology company UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) is expanding its office presence in Pune, adding further momentum to the city’s growing Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem.

    The expansion comes after UKG opened its Pune Centre of Excellence in April 2025, marking a significant milestone in the company’s India growth journey. The new centre was established to support UKG’s product and technology ecosystem and serve customers across its global markets.

    At the time of the Pune launch, UKG announced that the new centre was expected to house up to 500 employees during 2025. The Pune team was planned to focus on product innovation, engineering and AI-powered workforce management platforms and solutions.

    UKG already had a significant India workforce when the Pune centre was launched, with more than 3,000 employees across the country. UKG has been present in India since 2007, making its Pune expansion part of a much longer India growth story.

    UKG’s Pune journey illustrates an increasingly important trend within the city’s GCC landscape.

    The company’s Pune Centre of Excellence was designed to leverage the city’s technology talent and engineering ecosystem while contributing to UKG’s global product and technology capabilities. UKG described Pune as a strategic location where engineering expertise and a culture of innovation could support the development of its global HCM and workforce management solutions.

    The initial plan to build a Pune team of up to 500 employees demonstrated the scale of UKG’s commitment to the city.

    The subsequent expansion of the Pune office further reflects how global companies are increasingly moving from establishing a presence to building deeper and larger capabilities in the city.

    UKG’s expansion comes at a time when Pune is strengthening its position as an important destination for Global Capability Centres.

    The city offers a combination of engineering and technology talent, a strong higher-education ecosystem and an established technology industry. These factors are enabling multinational companies to develop teams that contribute to global product development, engineering, customer experience and other critical functions.

    UKG’s current careers information identifies Noida and Pune as key UKG locations in India, with more than 3,000 employees across the two locations working across engineering, customer experience and finance.

    For Pune, the UKG story is therefore about more than an office expansion. It represents the evolution of a global company’s presence from a newly established Centre of Excellence toward a larger and deeper technology operation.

    As more multinational companies follow a similar path — enter, establish, scale and expand — Pune’s role within India’s GCC landscape continues to evolve.

    UKG’s growing footprint adds another chapter to that story.

    Pune GCC tracks the companies, investments, leadership developments and expansions shaping Pune’s Global Capability Centre ecosystem.
