Ganesh Housing has launched Million Minds Tech City, a ₹15,000 crore integrated tech township aimed at positioning Ahmedabad alongside Bengaluru and Hyderabad as a Global Capability Centre hub.
Ahmedabad has spent decades known for manufacturing and trading. Now Ganesh Housing wants to add "tech hub" to that list, and it's backing that ambition with real money. The company has launched Million Minds Tech City, a ₹15,000 crore integrated technology township, positioning the project as Ahmedabad's answer to Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune's established Global Capability Centre ecosystems.
Spread across roughly 65 acres at Vaishnodevi Circle, within the Ahmedabad-GIFT City-Gandhinagar corridor, the project is planned as an 18 million sq. ft. "city within a city," with close to 10 million sq. ft. of Grade A commercial space at its core. Phase 1, spanning about 1.3 million sq. ft., is already showing real traction, roughly 8 lakh sq. ft. leased out to global and domestic enterprises so far. Shekhar Patel, Ganesh Housing's Managing Director and CEO, and also CREDAI's national president, called it "an economic growth and employment generation story for Gujarat," pegging expected job creation at over 70,000 high-skilled positions. Notably, the company confirmed the project is fully self-funded, no external investment partners involved.
Patel's pitch centres on advantages that are genuinely harder to replicate in India's more congested tech hubs, lower costs, less saturated infrastructure, and proximity to GIFT City's finance ecosystem. "GIFT City is the anchor development for the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar corridor. We are complementing it. GIFT is finance, we are technology and GCCs," he said. The project has secured serious execution partners too, Tishman Speyer as project management partner and RSP Architects handling core design, and the entire campus has already received IGBC Platinum certification, India's highest green building recognition. Union Home Minister Amit Shah backed the launch personally, reinforcing that this has real political weight behind it, not just corporate ambition.
Building infrastructure is only half the battle. Bengaluru and Hyderabad didn't become tech hubs through office space alone, they built deep, specialised talent pools and mature support ecosystems over decades. Ganesh Housing is trying to address that directly through GREMI City Campus, an integrated talent and education component within the township, aimed at building an industry-linked workforce pipeline rather than just hoping talent migrates in. Even so, developing 18 million sq. ft. within roughly five years is a genuinely large execution bet, one that depends on sustained market demand holding up through the full build-out, not just at launch.
This launch is worth reading as part of a much bigger pattern playing out across India right now, city after city is chasing the same GCC and tech-tenant demand that built Bengaluru and Hyderabad into what they are today. Hommea sees Ahmedabad's ₹15,000 crore bet as confirmation of just how much institutional and government capital is chasing this opportunity nationally, not just in the handful of cities that got there first. If you’re an investor, or a buyer who is tracking where India's next growth corridors might emerge, this is exactly the kind of shift worth watching closely, since today's ambitious announcement can become tomorrow's established micro-market.
