Hyderabad: Amazon has been aggressively focusing on the Indian market. After investing on innovative offerings and marketing in the Indian market, the e-commerce major has announced its plans to invest on people for its Hyderabad facility. The company will recruit 13,500 more in Hyderabad in the next three years, it said in a recent statement.

The new campus would be first dedicated and owned facility of Amazon outside the US as per the plan. Lakshmaiah also said the e-commerce company was working with their architectural consultants for the design of their facility.
Amazon, which employs over 56,000 globally, had set up its unit in Hyderabad in 2005 with 100 people. It grew to 4,000 in Hyderabad at its leased premises. Though the company was allotted 10.57 acres at Nanakramguda village near here, it could not start its construction activity as the allocation fell into legal dispute, which has now been resolved, the Minister said.
