About allotted 27,000 sqft space has been alloted to GTC in Phase 3 for H&R Block.
The company is expected to start work immediately and have the first phase operational soon, according to Hrishikesh Nair, CEO of Technopark.

The company headquartered in Kansas City, USA, also has operations in Canada and Australia, with more than 12000 retail tax offices worldwide.
The Technopark office will be H&R Blocks first Global Technology Centre in the country.
