The mega investment could transform Andhra Pradesh into a major AI centre
xAmerican technology conglomerate Google’s decision to establish a major artificial intelligence hub in Visakhapatnam marks a milestone in India’s technology landscape. It represents a moment of real opportunity for the people of Andhra Pradesh, who have long lacked a major growth driver like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, or Chennai.
As part of the proposal, Google intends to invest $15 billion to set up gigawatt-scale computing infrastructure, new subsea cable links, and a data centre campus to anchor its global artificial intelligence services.
This investment is expected to create around 36,000 jobs — both direct and indirect — for local residents in Visakhapatnam and accelerate skill development across the region. It
