CBRE is establishing its first Indian global agentic AI centre of excellence in Hyderabad, a move that underlines how the commercial real estate consultancy is recasting its India base as a hub for higher-value technology work rather than back-end execution.

The initiative is already moving beyond planning. People familiar with the project told Business Standard that several processes are live in production, with CBRE targeting automation across 30 enterprise workflows over the next nine to 12 months, spanning procurement, finance and lease abstraction. The company has also described its wider AI strategy as one focused on automating tasks, surfacing insights and improving operating efficiency across commercial real estate. (business-standard.com)
Anuj Kadyan, CBRE’s chief technology and transformation officer, said the firm sees agentic AI as central to rethinking how knowledge work is done. According to Business Standard, he said workflows such as procurement, finance and lease abstraction are among the areas where AI can play a significant role. CBRE’s India leadership has separately said the country is increasingly taking on frontend work, with local talent helping drive global technology initiatives. (business-standard.com)
The Hyderabad site is already a substantial technology base for the company. CBRE’s own India website says its Digital and Technology office in the city spans 90,000 square feet across two floors, with collaborative features including an internal bleacher-style staircase and biophilic design elements intended to support teamwork and innovation. The office sits in Hyderabad’s IT corridor, reinforcing the city’s role in CBRE’s broader technology push. (cbre.co.in)
The expansion also fits a wider acceleration in CBRE’s AI ambitions. In April 2026, the company said it had partnered with McKinsey and Google to build a scalable agentic AI platform, and CBRE’s website says it is embedding artificial intelligence into enterprise analytics, building operations and employee workflows.
