IT companies in Lucknow: where they are, and who this list is for
Most people who search for IT companies in Lucknow are graduates looking for work, and the companies' careers pages and the job portals are the better tools for them. This guide is for businesses that sell to Lucknow's software and IT firms, partner with them, or want to hire one for a project. Our Lucknow IT list, with phone numbers and emails, is described below.
Lucknow's IT trade is smaller than NCR's and leans towards government work and local business. It sits in a few places:
- Gomti Nagar: the city's main office district, where the commercial blocks of Vibhuti Khand hold software firms, IT service companies and the regional offices of larger ones.
- The newer side of the city: Gomti Nagar Extension and the roads along Shaheed Path and Sultanpur Road, where HCLTech has its campus and newer office projects have come up.
- Hazratganj and the old centre: the traditional commercial heart, with computer and electronics shops, dealers and small IT service firms, and more shops towards Aminabad.
- Residential neighbourhoods: Indira Nagar, Aliganj, Mahanagar, Jankipuram and Alambagh, full of owner-run development shops, web studios and training institutes working from small offices.
- Government suppliers: as the state capital, Lucknow has many firms that build e-governance software, run data entry and back-office work for departments, and supply hardware through GeM and state tenders.
Many Lucknow IT firms count a government department among their main customers, so they buy and hire in the rhythm of tenders and budgets.
Free sources for Lucknow IT firms
- STPI's Uttar Pradesh centres register software exporters under its scheme. That shows a firm earns from abroad, not who signs its purchase orders.
- The state's IT and electronics department publishes Uttar Pradesh's IT policy and incentives, and its agencies buy IT for government. Good background, no contact lists.
- GeM and the state's e-tender portal show which IT goods and services departments buy and, often, who won. Our GeM guide explains the seller side.
- Associations and colleges: the Indian Industries Association is headquartered in Lucknow and CII has a state office here. AKTU, the state technical university, and IIIT Lucknow deal with IT employers through placements. Member and placement data stay inside.
- MCA master data and the GST search confirm one firm at a time. Many small Lucknow software firms are proprietorships that never appear in company records. Our guide to company and GST look-ups explains both.
Our list of IT companies in Lucknow
The IT & Software Companies in Lucknow file holds 446 businesses. A mobile number comes with 92% of them and an email address with 75%, and 43% give a website, handy for checking what a firm builds before you call.

- Gomti Nagar: 34
- Aliganj: 13
- Alambagh: 11
- Jankipuram: 9

Who sells to Lucknow's IT firms
- Hardware, networking and CCTV distributors supplying the firms that fit out government offices, schools and hospitals.
- Bid consultants, GeM onboarding help and banks offering the guarantees that tenders ask for.
- Coworking and office providers in Gomti Nagar, and interior firms fitting out new offices.
- Cloud, licence and cybersecurity resellers, and power backup and inverter dealers.
- Training institutes and recruiters placing graduates from the colleges affiliated to AKTU.
- CA firms handling GST, payroll and audits for owner-run firms.
Partnering matters here too. Firms elsewhere that win projects in Uttar Pradesh often look for a Lucknow partner for local support and staff, and the list is a fair place to start that search.
How to approach IT companies in Lucknow
- Expect the owner. Most Lucknow IT firms are owner-run, so the person who answers often decides. Be ready to give a rate on the first call.
- Open in Hindi and follow the other side's lead. For example: "Namaskar, main Gaurav bol raha hoon, Gomti Nagar ki ek networking firm se. We install office networks and CCTV for software firms in Vibhuti Khand. Aapke office mein IT purchase kaun dekhta hai?" Our Hindi and English telecalling scripts have more openers.
- Visit by area. Gomti Nagar and Gomti Nagar Extension make one day; Hazratganj, Indira Nagar and Aliganj another.
- Mind the calendar. Firms that sell to government get busy near the end of the financial year, and Holi and Diwali weeks are slow everywhere. Call late in the morning, Tuesday to Thursday.
- Follow the rules. Read the DND rules before promotional calls or SMS, and see our cold calling tips for handling the first objection.
Questions people ask
Which is the IT hub of Lucknow?
Gomti Nagar, especially Vibhuti Khand, holds most of the established offices, with newer projects towards Gomti Nagar Extension and Sultanpur Road. Small firms are spread across the city. For the city's other industries, see our list of companies in Lucknow.
Are Kanpur's IT firms in the Lucknow list?
No. Rows follow the city each business gives, so firms in Kanpur, Barabanki or Unnao sit in the Uttar Pradesh list, not this one.
How do I choose a software company in Lucknow?
Shortlist four or five firms that have built something like your project, look at their websites and live work, and ask for a client you may call. Check GST registration and company status, and agree milestones and source-code ownership in writing before paying an advance.
How many IT companies are there in Lucknow?
No register gives one figure, because many small firms are proprietorships. Our Lucknow file lists 446 IT and software businesses.
