Google will build its largest campus outside the US in Hyderabad, tweeted Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao, who is currently touring the US to raise investment for his state.
"Excited to announce that Google & Govt of Telangana have inked an MoU to build their largest campus (outside US) in Hyderabad," tweeted KTR, as he is known. His father, KCR or K Chandrasekhar Rao, is the Chief Minister of India's youngest state.
The 38-year-old graduate, an MBA from an American university, has been meeting Non-Resident Indians and others in the US to draw cash to the IT hub of Hyderabad.
Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh as a new state last year. Causes for deep hostility between the neighbours cover a broad spectrum including power and water. The turf war has been extended to the US - KTR's tour overlaps with that of Nara Lokesh, whose father, Chandrababu Naidu, is Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
Like KTR, Nara Lokesh is seeking funds from foreign investors. However, while KTR is a minister, Nara Lokesh holds no post in his father's government.
With the big Google announcement, KTR has marched considerably ahead in the competitive fund-raising between the sons of the rival Chief Ministers.
