Meta, the global tech giant is expanding its operations in India. This expansion will place Meta alongside other tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft which already have a strong presence in Bengaluru. The new office of Meta will concentrate more on strengthening its AI (artificial intelligence) and engineering capabilities. This means there will be a huge hiring of engineers and specialists for AI roles.
According to Meta’s website, the company is looking for an engineering director who will take care of building a proficient technical team in the Bengaluru office. The company is also hiring hardware engineers to strengthen its AI infrastructure expansion including custom chip development and data center operations.
Meta entered the Indian market back in 2010. It already has a strong presence in major cities of India such as New Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. However, most of its operations are focused on sales, marketing, operations, policy, legal, business development, and finance.
This new upcoming office in Bengaluru will emphasise more expanding its engineering capabilities in the country. This expansion also highlights that competition for AI talent in India is intensifying rapidly and driving growth and innovation in the technology sector.
