Meta, Apple, Google, and Amazon collectively added 32,000 jobs in India throughout 2025. This hiring surge represents an 18% year-over-year increase, bringing the combined workforce of these major US tech firms in the country to 214,000.
The expansion responds strategically to tightened US H-1B visa regulations and rising demand for specialized talent. This talent is concentrated in advanced technology sectors, including AI/ML, data engineering, and cloud infrastructure.
This move underscores a broader strategy to capitalize on India's vast tech talent pool. Google and Amazon further bolster this expansion through significant investment commitments focused on developing AI hubs and cloud infrastructure within the country, solidifying India's growing importance in their global operations.
