CHENNAI: Amazon India on Tuesday opened its new office in Chennai - the company's largest in the state and the second largest in the country after the Hyderabad campus. The new facility, a development centre inaugurated by chief minister M K Stalin, spans 18 floors across 8.3 lakh sq ft at the World Trade Centre at Perungudi, is the e-commerce giant's fourth in Tamil Nadu.
It will have around 6,000 employees. Amazon did not specify the current strength in the workspace.
