Microsoft established to build the Bangalore campus with a $ 1 million investment

The software giant Microsoft is working on building a new campus in Bangalore with an investment of $ 1 billion.

Seven months after taking office as head of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella he had a high-level meeting with Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah. According to a report in the Times of India, the meeting held on September 29, 2014.

In fact, such was the secrecy surrounding the meeting that there was no trace left behind. Nor it was the day marked on the calendar Nadella, or were close to the prime minister aware of meeting people.

The report cites a source that says he hopes the new campus has the potential to create between 5,000 to 7,000 jobs.

Currently, 54 acres of Hyderabad campus is the most prominent presence in India. It houses the research and development of the software company, and global services. The report also that Microsoft employees about 7000 people in India adds. The new campus actually has the potential to double that number.

The report adds that neither Microsoft nor the Karnataka IT Secretary confirmed the existence of a plan of this kind from Microsoft.

Last year, Google announced it was preparing a larger campus in Hyderabad. He referred to it as the largest campus outside the US ..
