Google-parent Alphabet is planning to dramatically expand its presence in India, with the possibility of taking millions of square feet in new office space in Bengaluru, India’s tech hub, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.
The company has leased one office tower and purchased options on two others in Alembic City, a development in the city’s Whitefield tech corridor, totaling 2.4 million square feet, the report said, citing people familiar with the deal.

Alphabet did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The first tower is expected to open to employees in the coming months, while construction on the remaining two is set to conclude next year, the report said.
If Alphabet does occupy all of the space, the complex could accommodate as many as 20,000 additional staff, which could more than double the company’s footprint in India.
Alphabet currently employs around 14,000 in the country, out of a global workforce of roughly 190,000, according to the report.
