Alphabet's massive new office in India signals US visa shift
Business
Alphabet (yep, Google's parent company) just signed a massive lease in Bengaluru—snagging a 650,000 sq ft office tower and options for two more, adding up to a whopping 2.4 million sq ft.
Why the big step? With US visa costs shooting up, Alphabet is betting bigger on India to grow its team and tap into local talent.
Alphabet joins the India hiring spree
Once all three towers are open (the first one launches soon), these offices could welcome 20,000 more employees—more than doubling Alphabet's current India workforce.
It's part of a bigger trend: global tech giants are choosing India as their go-to spot for hiring and innovation, with thousands of new tech centers expected in the coming years.
