Google, the Nasdaq listed company launched its new call centre in Hyderabad which focuses on sales, operations and human resources functions. Google said it will expand the Hyderabad centre to serve and support its company's worldwide advertising clients. Antoine Colaco, operations manager for the India Online Sales, said that Google chose Hyderabad because of the technology-literate English speaking population, a competitive economic environment and good infrastructure. "Google's AdWords adver tisers and AdSense publishers throughout the world will receive seamless online sales service and support in their local time from the team in Hyderabad," a Google release said. "Engineers hired into the Google Hyderabad engineering centre will mirror Google's other engineering offices, with the same scope of work, hiring standards and Google culture. They will be part of a worldwide effort to create the best search experience for Google users and can expect to tackle some of the most interesting challenges in computing today," it added. Google India also said that the Hyderabad centre would provide regional language support to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India for its AdWords platform. It will help small business entrepreneurs to manage advertising campaigns online and grow their businesses by using Google's advertising platform 'AdWords'. It will provide support in kannda, Telagu, Tamil, Malayam, Hindi, Bengali and Marathi. Google, which listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market in August with a $2.7 billion initial public offering, would be offering stock options to its employees in India .The company is also planning compensation packages which would be similar to stock options. However, Sergey Brin and Larry Page co-founders of Google were in Bangalore on Wednesday for the inauguration of the R&D centre. Brin said that the Bangalore centre would be involved only in product development.
