Apple is going to open a development office in Hyderabad to support Maps development.

Apple is opening a new $25 million development office in Hyderabad, where some 150 employees will be supporting Maps development.

“We’ve been investing to expand our operations in India and are thrilled to have passionate customers and a vibrant developer community across the country,” a PR person said.

“We are looking forward to opening a new development office in Hyderabad that will be home to over 150 Apple employees supporting maps development,” Apple added. “The office will also have space for many contractors who will support our ambitious efforts locally.”

Apple's center will occupy 250,000 square feet.

India is the world’s third market for smartphones and the fastest-growing smartphone market in the world. Apple’s revenue in India surged 38 percent in the holiday quarter versus the fourteen percent revenue rise recorded in Greater China, Apple’s second-largest market after the United States.
