Global tech giants are continuing to invest heavily in building their India operations.
Amazon has opened what it describes as its second-largest office in Asia — and its second-largest single-building corporate office anywhere in the world — in Bengaluru, further cementing the city’s status as a critical node in the company’s global operations. The 1.1 million sq ft, 12-storey campus will house over 7,000 employees and underscores the e-commerce giant’s deepening commitment to India ahead of a promised $35 billion investment by 2030.
The campus, spanning 1.1 million square feet across 12 floors, sits on a five-acre plot roughly 15 kilometres from Kempegowda International Airport. It will bring together more than 7,000 employees working across e-commerce, operations, payments, technology, and seller services. The facility was inaugurated on Monday by Dr. M.B. Patil, Karnataka’s Minister for Large & Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development.
The opening comes as Amazon ramps up its India footprint ahead of an ambitious investment target. Having already poured over $40 billion into the country, the company has pledged an additional $35 billion by 2030 — a commitment that makes India one of its most significant long-term bets outside the United States.
Samir Kumar, Country Manager for Amazon India, described Bengaluru as central to the company’s India story. “Over the years, the city has been home to some of our earliest technology and business teams, and today it remains a key hub for innovation and talent,” he said at the inauguration.
Dr. Patil, for his part, framed the investment in the context of India’s broader economic ambitions. “Large-scale campuses like Amazon’s new campus create high-quality jobs, strengthen the local ecosystem, and support India’s digital economy,” he said, adding that Karnataka welcomes investments that build long-term capability for the local workforce.
On the inside, the campus has been designed with flexibility and collaboration front and centre. Workspaces are arranged into self-sustaining neighbourhoods, each equipped with meeting rooms, huddle spaces, and breakout areas. An event space can accommodate upwards of 200 people. Employees will also have access to basketball and pickleball courts, an amphitheatre, landscaped lawns, and cafeterias spanning two floors serving a range of cuisines.
The building also factors into Amazon’s sustainability agenda. The company says the project incorporates responsible material sourcing, reuse of office assets, and high-efficiency systems aimed at cutting both embodied and operational carbon — part of its broader push towards net-zero carbon by 2040 under The Climate Pledge.
Amazon’s footprint in Karnataka already runs deep. The company operates ten corporate offices, seven fulfilment centres, three sort centres, and over 130 last-mile delivery stations in the state. More than 80,000 sellers from Karnataka are active on Amazon’s India website. And the new campus adds will add considerable heft to what is already one of its most substantial presences in the Asia-Pacific region.
