WPP has taken a significant step in its expansion across India with the opening of a new campus in Chennai. Located at RMZ One Paramount, the 62,000 square-foot facility is designed to accommodate an initial workforce of 330 employees, with plans to increase to 650 by mid-2025. This marks a crucial addition to WPP’s Indian operations, as the company continues to grow its presence in the country.
The Chennai campus is the third such facility for WPP in India, following Mumbai and Gurgaon, and is part of a broader strategy to create collaborative and adaptable workspaces for its teams. The company is also planning to open additional campuses in Bangalore and Coimbatore in the coming years, further solidifying its commitment to the region.
Designed with employee well-being in mind, the Chennai campus offers a range of amenities, including food and beverage options, EV charging stations, a day-care centre, and artistic installations. Additionally, a wellness terrace featuring a futsal court, running track, and yoga deck adds to the campus’s focus on holistic employee health.
CVL Srinivas, WPP’s country manager for India, emphasized the importance of India as a strategic location for the company’s global functions. He stated, “The scalability of our operations and the expertise of our team in India make it an ideal hub for WPP’s global support functions. Our investment in the Chennai campus, along with future expansions in Bangalore and Coimbatore, reflects the significant role India will continue to play in driving WPP’s growth.”
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, also highlighted India’s growing importance in the company’s global strategy. “India remains one of our fastest-growing markets due to its technological advancements, creative talent, and specialized skills. Our continued investment through new campuses aims to foster collaboration, spark creativity, and support the career growth of our teams. This will not only benefit WPP’s workforce in India but also help our clients achieve their growth objectives both locally and internationally.”
