WeddingWire Inc., the Chevy Chase, Maryland-based online marketplace for the wedding industry opened its headquarters in a leased space in Gurgaon, approximately 20 miles southwest of Delhi.
Proximity to Delhi played a role in WeddingWire’s decision to base its headquarters in Gurgaon, reports Bizjournals. “Delhi is the biggest market in India,” said Anoop Kumar, who heads strategy and corporate development at the company. Gurgaon is also a technology hub which hosts Indian operations for companies such as Google, Accenture, and Uber. As a result, there is “a lot of talent there. India represents a large wedding market that is significantly different from the other 14 countries in which WeddingWire operates,” Kumar added.
