The latest office by Apple is another addition in its already existing offices located in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Gurugram with nearly 3,000 employees working.

More Tech Giants opening their space in India

India is becoming a hot spot for tech giants to open their premises in multiple locations in India due to favourable government policies. For instance, Google Inc has secured office space within the Nucleus Office Parks commercial tower, Fintech One situated in the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT).

This will be its sixth location in India besides Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Gurugram and Pune with Hyderabad being its country headquarter. It is also in the process of constructing its largest campus outside of the USA which will be in Hyderabad.

Similarly, Amazon India has recently launched its first interconnected offices in Bangalore.  The Amazon Development Centre in Bagmane Capital Tech, Rome South stands as a twin to Rome North building. The two buildings are connected by a skybridge on the second floor, allowing employees to move quickly between them.
