Ahmedabad: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Sunday inaugurated the newly developed Million Minds Tech Park and GREMI City Campus in Ahmedabad, projects built by Ganesh Housing Corporation Ltd at a combined investment of ₹1,600 crore. The projects are being seen as a major step toward positioning Ahmedabad as a Global Capability Center (GCC) hub and strengthening Gujarat’s technology ecosystem.

The Million Minds Tech Park, developed at a cost of ₹1,100 crore, and the GREMI City Campus, built for ₹500 crore, are expected to create opportunities in emerging sectors such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Data Science, Cyber Security, Finance and Research, while promoting high-quality employment and a “walk-to-work” urban lifestyle.

Addressing the gathering, Amit Shah said Gujarat had historically led the nation and would similarly emerge as a leader in technology. He said the projects would give new direction to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of taking Gujarat beyond a manufacturing hub and establishing it as a global centre for services and technology.

Shah stated that the tech park would create thousands of high-skilled jobs and support research and innovation in areas such as AI, robotics and semiconductors. Developed across nearly 65 acres near Vaishnodevi Circle on the Ahmedabad-GIFT City-Gandhinagar high-growth corridor, the project includes Grade-A office spaces, residential facilities, retail and hospitality infrastructure and is expected to generate more than 70,000 jobs.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who attended the event, said Gujarat was now entering a new phase of development focused on IT, innovation and a knowledge-based economy. He added that the project would act as a catalyst for digital growth and high-skilled employment generation.

The Chief Minister also highlighted Gujarat’s expanding technology ecosystem through GIFT City, the emerging semiconductor hubs at Sanand and Dholera, and the proposed Ahmedabad-Dholera semi-high-speed rail corridor, saying these developments would drive future economic growth and attract global investment.

Million Minds Tech City is envisioned as a large-scale “city within a city” spread across nearly 65 acres, with an overall planned development potential of approximately 18 million sq. ft. The integrated ecosystem will comprise nearly 10 million sq. ft. of Grade A commercial and technology office spaces, close to 6 million sq. ft. of premium residential developments, and close to 2 million sq. ft. dedicated to retail, hospitality, social and lifestyle infrastructure. The project is being developed by Ganesh Housing Limited in collaboration with Tishman Speyer as project management partner, and RSP Architects as the design partner.

Phase 1 of the development, comprising approximately 1.3 million sq. ft., has already witnessed strong leasing momentum, with nearly 8 lakh sq. ft. leased to leading global and domestic enterprises. The development has attracted a diverse mix of technology, consulting, biotechnology and workspace companies, including IBM, Tata Consultancy Services, Searce (Singapore-based global technology and cloud consulting firm), Valtech (Germany-origin global digital transformation company) , Withum (USA-based international accounting, tax and advisory firm) , Kashiv BioSciences (Global biotechnology and pharmaceutical-focused enterprise), DevX (Premium Managed office and co-working spaces provider), and APSER Life Science (International life sciences and healthcare-focused enterprise), signalling growing enterprise confidence in Ahmedabad as an emerging commercial, technology and innovation hub.

The launch also marked the inauguration of GREMI City Campus (Ganesh Real Estate Management Institute), recently approved by the AICTE. The simultaneous inauguration of GREMI City Campus alongside Million Minds Tech City reflects Ganesh Housing’s larger vision of integrating employment generation, innovation, industry collaboration and future workforce development within the Ahmedabad–Gandhinagar growth corridor.
