Uber plans to launch two new engineering campuses in India by end of 2027, with combined capacity for nearly 10,000 employees. The expansion supports the company's product development and operations across the region.

The ride-hailing and delivery giant will establish the facilities to house engineers and operations staff, strengthening its presence in one of its largest markets. India represents a critical hub for Uber's global technology infrastructure. The campuses mark a significant investment in the country's tech sector and reflect Uber's commitment to scaling operations across Asia. The company currently maintains a substantial workforce in India focused on engineering, customer support, and logistics optimization. By 2027, the new facilities will consolidate and expand Uber's existing Indian operations. The move aligns with broader industry trends of tech companies establishing regional engineering centers to tap local talent pools and reduce operational costs. Uber joins competitors and other major tech firms in expanding Indian infrastructure. The campuses will support development of ride-sharing, food delivery, and freight services across Uber's portfolio.
