Google largest campus, outside its HQ, in Hyderabad
Google in 2022 began work on its largest campus, here in Hyderabad, outside its headquarters in the US.
The 33 lakh square feet building is coming up at Gachibowli, the information technology cluster. The company had unveiled the design of the campus coming up at the 7.3-acre site it acquired in 2019.
The campus was originally planned as a 2 million square facility with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore. An agreement was signed between the Telangana government and Google in 2015 when Rama Rao had visited the company headquarters in California.
Google currently operates out of a leased facility in Kondapur in Hyderabad and employs about 7,000 people. The new campus, which was earlier expected to be ready in 2019, is likely to nearly double the headcount.
