Alphabet accelerates strategic large-scale investments in the Indian market

Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is planning to significantly expand its operations in India. According to multiple sources, the company is planning to secure several million square feet of new office space in Bangalore, India’s tech hub, as part of its strategic positioning in the Asian market.

Bangalore Tech Hub to House Large-Scale Office Facilities

The core of Alphabet’s expansion plan is the Elm Bangalore City development project located in the Whitefield area of Bangalore. The company has already leased office buildings totaling 2.4 million square feet in the area and has secured options to purchase two additional buildings. The first building is expected to be available to employees within the next few months, while the remaining two buildings are projected to be completed next year.

This investment is substantial; if Alphabet utilizes all the office space, it could accommodate up to 20,000 new employees at the Bangalore campus alone. This would double the current workforce in India and mark a significant shift in the company’s global talent strategy.

Proactive Talent Investment Strategy in the Indian Market

Currently, Alphabet employs approximately 14,000 people across India and about 190,000 worldwide. The plan to double its Indian workforce reflects a focused expansion in the Asia-Pacific region and increasing competition for tech talent.

Bangalore, as the center of India’s tech industry and home to many global IT companies, is seen as a strategic location for Alphabet’s large-scale investments. This expansion is expected to strengthen the company’s competitive position in the regional tech talent market and further establish its presence in India, supporting future digital innovation initiatives.
