Global Internet search giant Google announced plans to hire 300 people to double its engineering headcount in India and strengthen Hyderabad as its largest cloud computing research and development centre in the world. The firm plans to recruit 300 engineers in couple of years to increase its presence in India with focus on cloud computing.

For all the Google fans cum engineers cum tech freaks; this is good news! You could be the next Google employee! With Google deciding to expand its family and select the best engineers, Indian engineers get a reason to party.

Peeyush Ranjan, head of engineering, Google India, said that that 300 engineers were already working in Hyderabad and Bangalore on cloud computing. (Cloud computing is web-based processing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices such as smart phones on demand over the Internet). “India is a great market for cloud computing as it is the most price sensitive. Since cloud computing ensures efficiency and better utilization of resources, small and medium business is excited about it,” he said.

Google already has cloud computing centers in Mountain View in California and New York but the Hyderabad centre is the largest in terms of the number of engineers working here. There is an administrative control panel in Bangalore which manages the business of a customer once it is up in clouds.

Let’s see if 300 spells lucky for Google and India!
