Google's largest campus outside the US is coming up in Hyderabad

 

Google is set to have its first own facility in Asia — one of its biggest outside the United States — in Hyderabad, to be made operational by the summer of 2019.

In an MoU entered with the Government of Telangana, Google has decided to build a facility of two million sqft at an investment of Rs 1,000 crore. Once fully equipped, it could house about 13,000 employees — double the company’s present strength in India.

IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan and Google Real Estate and Facilities Global Head David Radcliffe shake hands after inking the MoU in the presence of IT Minister KT Rama Rao and Chief Relations Officer Amarnath Reddy Atmakuri at the company’s HQ in Mountain View 

The TRS government, which is keen on large scale expansion of the IT industry to portray the state as tech-savvy and investment-friendly, has allocated 7.2 acre to the company in Gachibowli, the main IT corridor in Hyderabad.

At present, Google operates from a rented space in Hyderabad, which will also be the first Indian city to have Google Street View
