#Google to hire 50,000 employees in India

In one of the largest expansion drives by a Fortune 500 company in India, Google Inc plans to hire up to 50,000 people for its Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Hyderabad offices by this year-end.

Sources said the company plans to hire across its business verticals, considering the growing clout of the Indian IT market in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Google may raise the count of its India offices too, they added.
