Uber Expands Engineering Footprint in India: Two Campuses and Data Center with Adani

Friends, I want to share a tech update: Uber has announced plans for two new engineering campuses in Bangalore and Hyderabad and a partnership with Adani for its first data center in India.

Brief:
- Campuses to house ~9,600 employees; operational by end‑2027. Data center scheduled for Q4 2026.
- India headcount currently ~3,500; hiring for generative AI, ML, autonomy and infrastructure.
- Objective — bolster product development and compute capacity.
- Risks: intense competition, rising costs, regulatory uncertainty.

Why it matters: scaling in India will accelerate Uber’s global AI initiatives.

How do you assess the impact on the local talent market and competition?
