India is strengthening its position as a leading talent hub for financial services, with Mumbai, Delhi NCR and Bengaluru ranked among the world’s top 30 financial services markets, according to Colliers’ Global Financial Services Markets: Top Talent Locations 2026 report.

The report analysed more than 200 markets worldwide and assessed locations based on talent depth, investment activity, labour availability, venture capital funding and industry output.

Mumbai featured prominently as a Global Centre for financial services talent, while Delhi NCR was identified as a Strategic Centre. Bengaluru was ranked among the top Domestic and Operational Centres globally. Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai also emerged as important domestic operational centres.

According to Colliers, India performed strongly on the labour index, with six cities among the top 10 in Asia Pacific. Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune ranked as the top three APAC markets for labour strength, supported by large talent pools and concentrations of target occupations.

Arpit Mehrotra, Managing Director, Office Services, Colliers India, said India’s deep talent pool, technology expertise and operational scale are strengthening its position as a global financial services hub. He added that the BFSI sector is likely to account for 15–20 per cent of office demand in the next few years.

The report noted that Indian cities are increasingly attracting financial services firms due to cost advantages, strong talent availability and maturing business ecosystems. Demand is being driven by specialised skills in digital banking, risk management, data analytics and AI.

Colliers said financial services firms are increasingly adopting data-led workforce and location strategies, with Asia Pacific expected to remain central to future growth.
