Google to expand operations in
Hyderabad
14 May, 2007
Google is going places,
indeed. The growth story is now headed
to spread across as many as 20 acres
of land near the Andhra Pradesh
capital of Hyderabad.
A report said that the Andhra Pradesh
government has decided to allot 20
acres of land on the city outskirts,
at Kokapet village to be precise, to
Google for expanding its operations.
Taking things forward, a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) was signed by
Shailendra Kumar Joshi, secretary to
the government, Information Technology
and communications department, and Roy
Gilbert, director online sales and
operations, Google Inc, in this
regard. The MoU ceremony took place at
Santa Clara in US in the presence of
visiting Chief Minister Y.S.
Rajasekhara Reddy.
Google has, over the years, grown in
India and has its second largest
operations in the country at
Hyderabad. The Hyderabad facility
houses engineering, online sales and
service, information systems, human
resources and other support functions.
It has 1,088 employees operating from
here. On the manpower front, Google,
which boasts of global revenues of
over $10,604.92 million, is looking at
expanding its operations at the
Hyderabad centre by ramping up the
employee strength to over 4,000. A new
fully-owned techno complex is also in
the offing, the report added.
The Googleplex in Mountain View,
California, is the world headquarters
for the Google organization, and has
more than 20 offices around the globe.
In India, the search major is present
across four locations in India, namely
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi and
Mumbai.
