New Delhi: US tech giant Amazon on Monday inaugurated its second-largest office in Asia in Bengaluru. The 12-storey, 1.1 million square-foot campus will support over 7,000 employees across e-commerce, operations, payments, technology, and seller services in India.
Commenting on the launch, MB Patil said, “Amazon’s continued investment in Bengaluru reflects India's growing role as a global technology and innovation hub. Large-scale campuses like Amazon’s new campus create high-quality jobs, strengthen the local ecosystem, and support India's digital economy. We welcome investments that build long-term capability and create opportunity for our workforce.”
The Bengaluru campus is part of Amazon’s ongoing investments in India, following over $40 billion invested to date, with additional commitments of $35 billion planned by 2030.
Situated 15 kilometres from Kempegowda International Airport, the corporate building is designed to bring teams together at scale and foster collaboration, flexibility, learning, and employee well-being, the company said.
“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,” said Samir Kumar.
The campus features adaptable workspaces and collaborative zones organised into self-sustaining neighbourhoods, with meeting rooms, huddle spaces, breakout areas, and event spaces capable of hosting more than 200 people. Employees also have access to recreational facilities, including basketball and pickleball courts, an amphitheatre, landscaped lawns, and outdoor community spaces. Cafeterias across two floors serve a range of global cuisines.
The project incorporates sustainable strategies, such as responsible material sourcing, reuse of office assets, and high-efficiency systems designed to reduce both embodied and operational carbon.
