Amazon announced the opening of its second-largest office in Asia with the launch of a 1.1 million square feet, 12-storey campus in Bengaluru (Karnataka) that will support more than 7,000 employees across ecommerce, operations, payments, technology, and seller services in India.
The facility has been developed on a five-acre site located around 15 kilometres from Kempegowda International Airport, and was inaugurated by Dr. M.B. Patil, Minister for Large and Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development, Government of Karnataka.
The expansion is a part of Amazon’s continuing investment push in India, where it said it has already invested over $40 billion and has committed to invest an additional $35 billion by 2030.
Commenting on the development, the company said the new campus reflects its broader push to reduce carbon emissions across its corporate office portfolio in line with its goal of achieving net-zero carbon by 2040 under The Climate Pledge, adding that the facility integrates responsible material sourcing, reuse of office assets, and high-efficiency systems designed to lower both embodied and operational carbon.
Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. M.B. Patil, Minister for Large & Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development, Government of Karnataka, 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.”
“India continues to be a long-term priority for Amazon, and Bengaluru has played a central role in our journey here. 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. As we build for customers in India and around the world, we remain committed to investing in infrastructure, technology, and talent for the long term,” Samir Kumar, Country Manager, Amazon India, added.
