Hyderabad is poised to host what is confirmed to be Google’s largest campus in the world, set to be completed by early 2026.
The colossal project, located in the Financial District of Gachibowli, is more than just Google’s biggest office outside of its US headquarters; its estimated 3 million square feet of built-up area is expected to surpass even the company’s vast California and New York facilities, cementing its status as the single largest Google office building globally.
- Scale and Capacity: The 7.3-acre site is being developed into a collaborative workplace designed to accommodate an estimated 18,000 employees.
- Design Philosophy: The British architectural firm AHMM is leading the design of the climate-sensitive, elliptical structure, which prioritizes sustainability, energy efficiency, and adaptability. The design includes a signature open ellipse to maximize natural light and help moderate the local climate.
- Economic Impact: The significant investment underscores Google’s commitment to India, which has become a strategic nerve center for the company. Industry leaders have termed the project a major geopolitical statement, reflecting the country’s growing stature as a global tech powerhouse.
The new campus will more than double Google’s existing footprint in Hyderabad, establishing the city as a critical hub for the tech giant’s operations and potentially for R&D and engineering functions in the Asia-Pacific region.
