Welcome to Amazon's Hyderabad, India, campus.
An armed police officer stood at the entrance of Amazon's new campus on its opening day.
The campus is built on 9.5 acres of land; but spread out, the actual space of the campus is 68 acres.
Amazon began operating out of Hyderabad, in the state of Telangana, in 2004. This campus is one of six Telangana offices housing one-third of Amazon's India workforce.

The campus has 1.8 million square feet of office space — that's about the size of 31 American football fields.
The campus features interfaith prayer rooms, mothers’ room, showers, and quiet rooms.
The campus also has a helipad.
Amazon VP John Schoettler says the campus was built with employees with special needs in mind.
"The infrastructure has been designed as per Amazon's exacting standards, to foster inclusion and a sense of belonging among all Amazonians, including colleagues with special needs," John Schoettler, Amazon vice president of global real estate and facilities, said in a press release.

Amazon has invested in 30 office spaces, 50 fulfillment centers, and "hundreds" of delivery stations and sorting centers in India over the last 15 years, Agarwal said in the press release.
All told, Amazon has created nearly 200,000 jobs in India, Agarwal said.
Amazon says it emphasized sustainability in its new building, which has an 850,000-liter water recycling plant and 300 trees on campus.
The Hyderabad campus took 18 million hours to build, according to Amazon.
