“This is not news about just one new building project. I read this slowly to let it sink into my mind.

He was reacting to a video of the purported construction site of the campus showing the massive compound being built.
In 2015, Google CEO Sundar Pichai had announced the construction of the 7.3-acre campus in Hyderabad’s IT hub. The office which will take an elliptical shape will cater to 18,000 employees and will more than double Google’s footprint in the city. The construction began in April 2022 after the site was acquired in 2019.
