# DE Shaw to open 6 lakh sq ft Hyderabad facility in 2027 2026-10-07T16:22:03+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets DE Shaw India Private Limited will open a new 6 lakh sq ft facility in Neopolis, Hyderabad, in 2027, the company announced on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The global capability centre, which currently employs around 2,000 people, is expected to grow to over 3,000 with the new office. The announcement came during the firm’s 30th anniversary celebrations in Hyderabad. Telangana IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu said the expansion reflects DE Shaw’s ‘long-term confidence in Telangana and its exceptional talent pool’. The minister credited the state’s ‘continuous, stable, and promising’ policies for enabling long-term corporate presence. DE Shaw India began operations in Hyderabad in 1996 with 20 people and has since expanded to Bengaluru and Gurugram, now employing 2,500 people across the three cities. Managing director Eddie Fishman said the firm’s India teams work on projects spanning ‘almost every aspect of the firm’s operations’, including building in-house generative AI tools. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Times of India and The Hindu report the same facts: a 6 lakh sq ft office opening in 2027, headcount growth to over 3,000, and the minister’s praise for state policies.
