Tech giant Google has opened a new office in Bengaluru, one of its largest offices globally, in a bid to expand operations in the country.
The new office is named Ananta, meaning 'infinite' or 'limitless' in Sanskrit. Currently, Google has four offices in India — Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Mumbai.
"Ananta is one of our most ambitious ground-up developments. A collaboration between Google India and a local development and design team, the Ananta campus embodies Google's latest thinking in workplace design," the company said in a blog post.
Ananta is designed to connect people in ways that spark breakthrough ideas and innovation, the company said. "The building's sculpted form is more than striking architecture — it improves views, provides access to natural light, and creates an intimate layout for teams to come together."
Ananta is designed with features that minimise its environmental footprint and contribute to the balance of the surrounding ecosystem. The campus recycles 100% of its wastewater, harvests hundreds of litres of rainwater on-site and features one of India's largest smart-glass installations to reduce energy consumption.
"Ananta is part of our ongoing efforts to build with and for India and the world. For Google, India has always represented a very special opportunity, not just to reach millions of users within the country with our products and platforms, but also have them shaped by Indian ingenuity, helping them become even more useful for the billions of users we create for globally," it said.
The new office will enable Google to deliver world-class products, foster deeper partnership with customers, and continue to focus on solving the most complex challenges facing users, businesses and startups in India and around the world, the company said.
