Facebook has announced that it is investing in India by opening an office in Hyderabad, where it will build a world-class team to support its growing number of users, advertisers and developers in India and around the world. The announcement comes at a significant time in Facebook’s international growth. The company has seen exponential growth in recent months. More than 8 million people in India now actively use the site to connect with their friends, family, and people they know in India and across the globe. The company has more than 400 million active users worldwide. Facebook’s new operations center in Hyderabad will supplement operations supported out of Palo Alto, California, Dublin, Ireland and a recently announced location in Austin, Texas. The investment in an additional global operation in Hyderabad is part of Facebook’s on-going effort to expand support for the hundreds of millions of people who use the site every day. The Hyderabad office, like the others, will also house online advertising and developer support teams. Having multiple support centers in a variety of time zones provides Facebook users and advertisers around the world with round-the-clock, multi-lingual support. A full list of job descriptions for open positions can be viewed at www.facebook.com/careers. Speaking in Hyderabad, where recruitment for a Director of Operations and other key positions has already begun, Don Faul, Director of Global Online Operations for Facebook, said, “People in India and around the world are using Facebook to do everything from voicing their opinions on national issues, to connecting with fellow cricket and hockey fans, to sharing photos with their friends and family. We expect our new office in Hyderabad to tap into the region’s strong pool of talented people who understand operations and technology, and help us more effectively serve the needs of our users, advertisers, and developers around the world.” |
