Semiconductors and telecom major Qualcomm will invest $400 million to set up its largest facility outside its headquarters at San Diego, CA., at Hyderabad in India’s southern state of Telangana. Phase-1 of the project will include a built-up space of 1.7 million square feet to house 10,000 employees.
Qualcomm already has offices in Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai, and it hopes to move to the new facility in 2019.
K.T. Rama Rao, minister for Information Technology and Industries for the state of Telangana said, “We have Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and now Qualcomm. This list will only increase as they are a few more in the pipeline that we are working actively with.”
