It is true that Google wants to set up its own campus in Hyderabad, but it is very old news. In fact, the MoU was signed long back between erstwhile united Andhra Government and Google and it was announced umpteen times in past. Now, the Telangana government sought to sign the MoU afresh, in a bid to give an impression that the deal was struck only due to efforts of KTR during his USA trip. Here are the actual details: In 2008, the then united Andhra Pradesh Government had allocated 20 acres of land to build Google's own campus in Hyderabad, but the land allocation had faced legal issues and setting of the campus had got postponed multiple times till date. Since then Google is operating in three different "leased" facilities in Hyderabad. Now, it seems legal issues of the government land has been resolved or another piece of land might have been allocated. A fresh MoU has been signed for this years' old Google's plan of moving its offices. Basically this hype is all about just Google's plan of moving to own campus from leased facility. Google's journey at Hyderabad was all started in then undivided Andhra Pradesh's Y S Rajasekhar Reddy's government. Below is the timeline of this longtime delayed setup of Google Hyderabad "own" campus: 2008 Feb 14: "Google will set up their India campus in Hyderabad. We have allotted 20 acres," announced M Gopi Krishna, Special Secretary in Andhra Pradesh's Department of IT and Communications 2013 May 15: âThe Government allotted 20 acres about six years ago for its campus. But unfortunately that landed in a legal issue. Now that it is resolved, we have asked them to build their campus here and expand operations,â Ponnala Lakshmaiah (Then IT minister) 2014 Sep 10th: "Internet search giant Google Inc has reaffirmed its commitment to set up its first campus outside the US. There are some issues with the land allocation. We are sorting it out," announced KTR. As established above, there is nothing new in this news expect being signing of MoU has been held until KTR's USA trip to project him as if he struck this deal! |
