Google to open new office in Pune later in 2022

NEW DELHI: Internet giant Google is opening a new office in Pune, by the second half of 2022. The company will hire teams in cloud product engineering, technical support and global delivery center organizations.

“Recruiting starts now though alongside the organization’s rapidly growing teams in Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Bangalore,” the Mountain View headquartered technology giant said in a statement.

Google has been aggressively building its Cloud division in the country with hires in key leadership positions as it looks to compete with the likes of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft.
Anil Bhansali, VP of Cloud Engineering in India, said, “As an IT hub, our expansion into Pune will enable us to tap top talent as we continue to develop advanced cloud computing solutions, products and services for our growing customer base.”

The hires will be responsible for building advanced enterprise cloud technologies in collaboration with Google Cloud’s global engineering teams, providing real-time technical advice, and delivering product and implementation expertise that customers turn to Google Cloud for as their trusted partner in their digital transformation journey.

In another development, Google has reportedly landed in legal trouble over ‘Deceptive’ Pixel 4 radio advertising.

The company is being sued in Texas for radio advertising that aired from late October to early December of 2019, reports GizmoChina.

According to a report by AndroidCentral, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has brought forth this lawsuit claiming that Google ran inaccurate and deceiving advertisements about its Pixel 4 smartphones in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston markets.
