When Google CEO Sundar Pichai visited India in December last year, he said the search engine giant had plans to tap the local engineering talent pool as well as the domestic market.
It seems Pichai is keeping his word as apparently Google just bought 1 lakh square feet office space on lease in Bagmane World Technology Centre in Bengaluru.
"The company is also looking for additional space in Hyderabad, apart from setting up its largest campus," ET quoted a person as saying.
During his visit, Pichai had saidGoogle will ramp up our engineering investments at Bengaluru and Hyderabad facilities and even invest nearly Rs 1,000 crore in building a new campus in Hyderabad’s Gachibowli area, biggest campus outside the US.
Google wants to double the number of its head count in India to 13,000 by 2019.
Pichai wants to make the internet more relevant for Indians and set up free Wi-Fi across 100 train stations across the country.
It is noteworthy that Google had leased 430,000 sq ft of office space from Unitech in Signature Towers II project in Gurgaon last year.
