Delhi for Corporate Video: India's National Capital Region

Delhi is India's National Capital Territory, anchoring the substantial National Capital Region (NCR) that includes Delhi proper plus the satellite cities of Gurugram (Gurgaon), Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad. Together the NCR forms one of India's largest corporate markets after Mumbai. While New Delhi specifically holds the seat of the Indian government, the broader Delhi NCR holds substantial corporate operations including the headquarters of Bharti Airtel (one of the world's largest telecom firms), Maruti Suzuki India (the largest Indian automaker), Hero MotoCorp (one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers), DLF (the largest Indian real estate developer), Indraprastha Gas, and substantial operations of multinational firms in Gurugram (Microsoft, Google, IBM, Accenture, Genpact, EY, Deloitte, McKinsey, BCG, and dozens of others). For corporate productions involving Indian government work, major Indian conglomerate communications, North Indian regional content, or the substantial Gurugram-based multinational operations, Delhi NCR is the natural location.

The Gurugram Corporate Anchor

Gurugram (the satellite city southwest of Delhi proper) holds substantial multinational corporate operations including the India headquarters of Microsoft, Google, Meta, IBM, Accenture, Genpact, the major professional services firms (EY, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG), McKinsey India, Boston Consulting Group India, and the major Indian conglomerates' Delhi operations. The Cyber City and DLF Cyber Hub districts hold the major modern corporate towers. The substantial corporate communications generated by these operations anchors major Delhi NCR corporate production work.
