PEPSICO EXPANDS HYDERABAD PRESENCE WITH MAJOR OFFICE LEASE

PepsiCo has strengthened its Hyderabad footprint by leasing 91,314 sq. ft. of Grade-A office space at Laxmi Infobahn Tower 4 in Kokapet. Spanning two floors, the five-year lease commencing on 13 March 2026 expands the company’s India Capability Center presence, reinforcing Hyderabad’s role in PepsiCo’s global operations.

Global food and beverage giant PepsiCo has taken another decisive step in expanding its presence in Hyderabad, securing a significant lease of 91,314 square feet of Grade-A office space at Laxmi Infobahn Tower 4 in Kokapet. The newly acquired space, covering the sixth and seventh floors of the tower, has been contracted for a five-year term beginning on 13 March 2026.  

This latest move underscores PepsiCo’s confidence in Hyderabad as a strategic hub for its India Capability Center, which has steadily grown in importance within the company’s global operations framework. The new office footprint adds to its existing facilities in the city, reflecting both the scale of PepsiCo’s ambitions and the city’s rising stature as a preferred destination for multinational corporations seeking talent and infrastructure.  

Hyderabad’s appeal lies in its combination of robust connectivity, modern office developments, and a deep pool of skilled professionals across technology, finance, and business services. Kokapet, in particular, has emerged as one of the city’s fastest-growing commercial corridors, with Grade-A office towers attracting global enterprises eager to establish or expand their operations. PepsiCo’s decision to secure space in Laxmi Infobahn Tower 4 further validates the area’s reputation as a premium business district.  

For PepsiCo, the expansion is more than a real estate transaction; it represents a continuation of its long-term strategy to leverage India’s talent ecosystem for global capability building. The India Capability Center in Hyderabad plays a pivotal role in supporting the company’s worldwide business teams, offering expertise in areas such as financial planning, analytics, and technology infrastructure. By enlarging its footprint, PepsiCo is signalling its intent to deepen these capabilities and ensure scalability for future growth.  

The timing of the lease also reflects broader trends in Hyderabad’s commercial real estate market, which has seen sustained demand from multinational corporations across sectors including technology, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. With the city consistently ranking high on India’s GCC (Global Capability Centre) indices, PepsiCo’s expansion adds weight to Hyderabad’s reputation as a global innovation hub.  

Industry observers note that such investments are not only about operational efficiency but also about positioning for long-term resilience. As global companies navigate evolving market dynamics, Hyderabad’s combination of cost-effective infrastructure and high-quality talent makes it a compelling choice. PepsiCo’s latest move is therefore both a reinforcement of its existing strategy and a forward-looking investment in its global capability network.  

By securing this expansive office space, PepsiCo has reaffirmed its commitment to India and to Hyderabad in particular. The lease at Laxmi Infobahn Tower 4 is expected to provide the company with the scale and flexibility needed to support its evolving business requirements, while further embedding Hyderabad into its global operational map.
