 Facebook to launch India operations in two months
Hyderabad:Social networking site Facebook is all set to launch its India operations from Hyderabad in less than two months. The company's proposal to set up a unit in Raheja Mindspace SEZ here was approved by the Union Government yesterday, said a senior official of the state Information Technology Department today. "The company is aggressively hiring people. Initially, they will be operating from an incubation centre in the SEZ," the official told PTI. Facebook's new operations centre in Hyderabad will supplement operations supported out of Palo Alto, California, Dublin, Ireland, and a recently-announced location in Austin, Texas. The Hyderabad office will be Facebook's first office in the Asian region. As many as five IT companies have been accorded permission to set up their offices in a total area of 3.91 lakh sq ft in different IT SEZs across the state.
