Things We Know About The Upcoming Google Hyderabad Campus

Google‘s upcoming campus in Hyderabad is the talk of the town right now. Hyderabad was historically known as a pearl and diamond trading centre. It is called as the “City of Pearls”. Google already has an office in Hyderabad, but it’s a leased facility and now they are focussing on building their own with a huge investment.

Google already has offices in India at four places – Bangalore, Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Mumbai. And this new Hyderabad office could be the hub for all, even for all in Asia. In article I have shared some updates about the upcoming Google Hyderabad Campus, these updates are gathered from the tweets and reports given by Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao.

The construction should take about two and a half years and we could have a facility as soon as early 2019.
