Uber to Open Engineering Campuses for 9,600 in Bengaluru and Hyderabad by 2027
Uber announced plans for expanded facilities in Bengaluru and Hyderabad alongside a new data center partnership with Adani Group. The moves come as the company employs 3,500 people in India and invests heavily in artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made the announcements during his latest visit to the country.
finance.yahoo.comUber will open two new engineering campuses in Bengaluru and Hyderabad with capacity for around 9,600 people by the end of 2027. The offices will add to the company’s existing operations in both cities, which are established hubs for software and engineering talent.
The company has also partnered with Adani Group to build its first data center in India, expected to go online in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Both announcements were made during Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi’s latest visit to India, TechCrunch reported. Uber currently employs around 3,500 people in India. It will continue to hire more technical talent as it ramps up AI-related investments globally.
The company is hiring for roles spanning generative AI, machine learning, autonomous vehicle operations, and back-end infrastructure. Earlier this year, Uber invested $330 million into its India unit. India has a large software talent pool and has become an important engineering and product development base for global technology companies.
The two new campuses will add to Uber’s existing operations in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. For Uber, the expansion comes as the company seeks new growth areas beyond ride-hailing. It invests more heavily in AI, automation and autonomous vehicle technologies.
Dara Khosrowshahi said last year that Rapido had overtaken Ola as Uber’s biggest competitor in India. India remains a challenging market for ride-hailing companies because of intense price competition, supply shortages, high driver incentive costs, and changing regulations that have at times disrupted services in some cities.
Still, Uber appears to be looking at India as a larger engineering and infrastructure base for its global operations as demand for AI talent and computing capacity grows.
