Facebook announced on their official blog, opening a new office in the city of Hyderabad, India. The news came a few days after the confirmation of another new station network in Austin, Texas, the “request” of Governor Rick Perry (who took the opportunity to donate 1.4 million dollars to Facebook as an incentive). Both offices are responsible for online sales and operational services.
With more than 400 million users, Facebook had observed a significant growth in recent years, and these new offices represent a better support, says facebook official blog.
Deciding an office in Hyderabad is really a major step. The blog network shows that 70% of people participating in Facebook are not the U.S., and therefore the presence in other countries is crucial for continued expansion worldwide. The post also points out that only in India, the network already has about 8 million active users.
Besides Austin and Hyderabad, Facebook is headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, and offices in Atlanta, Birmingham (Michigan), Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, New York, Venice Beach (California), Washington DC, and the international Dublin Milan, Paris, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.
