Amazon Inaugurates Second-Largest Office in Asia in Bengaluru, Reinforces India Investment Commitment

Amazon on Monday inaugurated its new office in North Bengaluru, marking its second-largest office in Asia and reaffirming its long-term commitment to investing in India.

The expansive campus, located about 15 kilometres from Kempegowda International Airport, spans 1.1 million square feet across 12 floors and sits on a five-acre site. The facility is designed to accommodate more than 7,000 employees and will house multiple business verticals under one roof.

Major Investment in India’s Tech Capital

The new office strengthens Bengaluru’s position as a major global technology hub. Over the years, the city has served as a key base for Amazon’s technology and business teams in India.

The campus will bring together teams from:

  • Technology and product development
  • E-commerce operations
  • Payments services
  • Seller services
  • Leadership and support functions

By consolidating these teams, Amazon aims to improve collaboration and operational efficiency while enhancing its innovation capabilities in the region.

Karnataka Government Welcomes Expansion

The inauguration ceremony was attended by M. B. Patil, Minister for Large & Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development, Government of Karnataka, who served as the chief guest.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Patil highlighted the importance of such investments in boosting the State’s economic and technological ecosystem.

“Amazon’s continued investment in Bengaluru reflects India’s growing role as a global technology and innovation hub. Large-scale campuses like this 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,” he said.

The development is expected to generate significant employment opportunities and further enhance Bengaluru’s appeal as a destination for global technology companies.

Bengaluru at the Heart of Amazon’s India Journey

Samir Kumar, Country Manager of Amazon India, reiterated the company’s commitment to India and praised Bengaluru’s role in Amazon’s growth story.

“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,” he said.

He also expressed appreciation for the support extended by the Karnataka government, emphasizing Amazon’s ongoing investments in infrastructure, technology, and talent development.

Strategic Location and Scale

The new campus’s proximity to Kempegowda International Airport enhances connectivity for global operations and visiting teams. Spread across 12 floors, the 1.1 million-square-foot facility is one of Amazon’s largest corporate offices in Asia, second only to its biggest regional hub.

The design and scale of the campus reflect Amazon’s long-term strategy in India, where the company continues to expand across e-commerce, cloud services, digital payments, and logistics.

Strengthening India’s Digital Economy

Amazon’s latest expansion underscores India’s increasing importance in the global technology landscape. With Bengaluru already hosting numerous multinational technology companies, this new facility further cements the city’s reputation as India’s Silicon Valley.

The investment is expected to contribute to:

  • Job creation in high-skilled technology roles
  • Growth of local startups and service providers
  • Strengthening of India’s digital commerce ecosystem
  • Infrastructure development in North Bengaluru

As Amazon deepens its footprint, the company’s expanded presence signals confidence in India’s talent pool and long-term economic prospects.

The inauguration of the North Bengaluru campus marks another milestone in Amazon’s India journey, reinforcing its position as one of the country’s largest technology and e-commerce employers.
