Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is preparing to open a new office in Bengaluru, strengthening its presence in India, according to Moneycontrol. This move follows Google’s establishment of the Ananta project in the city, signaling a broader trend of global tech giants expanding their footprint in India’s Silicon Valley.

Meta is actively recruiting for key engineering and product roles, including an engineering director for its upcoming Bengaluru office. The role will focus on building engineering teams and developing the company’s long-term engineering strategy in India, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence. While Meta already operates from the Embassy Golf Links area in Bengaluru, the new office will focus on AI-driven engineering, marking a shift in the company’s operations in the country, which have primarily revolved around sales, marketing, and business development.

Meta’s new Bengaluru office will be developed by the enterprise engineering team, which creates internal tools aimed at enhancing productivity across the company. This expansion comes as Bengaluru continues to attract major tech players, solidifying its position as a global technology hub.

Key Developments:

  • Meta is opening a new office in Bengaluru, with a focus on AI engineering.
  • The office will be developed by Meta’s enterprise engineering team.
  • Bengaluru remains a top destination for global tech giants, including Google, Nvidia, Samsung, and Microsoft.
