Google will build a new campus in Hyderabad and hire more people even as it is working towards including as many people as possible to use the Internet in India, Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said on Wednesday.
This was also a part of the assurance Google gave to Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he visited the search engine giant’s headquarters at Mountain View, Santa Clara county, in California in September this year.
We will ramp up our engineering investments at our Bangalore and Hyderabad facilities. We will also build a huge new campus in Hyderabad.Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google
This was Pichai’s first visit to India after he became the CEO of the restructured Google in August.
The company is starting training programmes for two million new Android developers over the next three years that will make it easier for Indian developers to build solutions to local problems. The online search giant is partnering with the National Skill Development Council for this.
