Bengaluru: In a move to further accelerate India’s digital transformation, tech giant Google inaugurated Ananta, one of its largest global offices, on Wednesday.

Highlighting India's role as a key strategic hub in the global tech landscape—reflected in its thriving startup and app ecosystems, digital public infrastructure, and diverse creator community—Google stated that Ananta is part of its commitment to innovating 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 to have them shaped by Indian ingenuity, helping them become even more useful for the billions of users we create for globally,” said Anand Rangarajan, Vice President, Google DeepMind.

Situated in Bengaluru, one of the world’s fastest-growing tech hubs, Ananta is described as “one of our most ambitious ground-up developments.”

A collaboration between Google India and a local development and design team, the campus reflects Google's latest approach to workplace innovation. “The building's name, Ananta, means ‘infinite’ or ‘limitless’ in Sanskrit,” said Sunil Rao, Vice President, of Global Delivery, Google Cloud India.

Designed with cutting-edge architecture, the campus includes one of India’s largest electrochromic glass installations and a sculpted, fluid facade.

Google emphasized that Ananta will help deliver world-class products, deepen customer partnerships, and address complex challenges for users, businesses, and startups in India and beyond.

Last week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai underscored the “incredible opportunities” that artificial intelligence (AI) will bring to India following his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the AI Action Summit in Paris.

The Alphabet CEO also highlighted the potential for strong collaboration between Google and India in advancing the country’s digital transformation.

“Delighted to meet with PM Narendra Modi today while in Paris for the AI Action Summit. We discussed the incredible opportunities AI will bring to India and ways we can work closely together on India’s digital transformation,” Pichai shared on X. IANS
