Alphabet Inc. plans a major expansion of its operations in India. It is leasing one office tower in Bengaluru's Whitefield technology corridor, with options for two more.
The total space could reach 2.4 million square feet. This space could accommodate up to 20,000 additional employees. Alphabet currently employs 14,000 people in the country.
The expansion responds strategically to increasing regulatory scrutiny and tightening work visa rules in the United States. This commitment is one of Alphabet's largest real estate moves in India. It reflects a broader trend among large technology firms adjusting global workforce strategies.
