Business Wire
As part of its global growth strategy, WPP (NYSE:WPP) will
invest in two co-location campuses in India. The roll-out will
commence with more than 3,800 people moving into a new Mumbai
Campus in late August, while a Gurugram Campus will be set up next
year.
All co-locations will support the WPP community with world-class
facilities. The campuses include conducive spaces for talent to
work and engage in collaboration and will also provide clients with
easier access to WPP’s network of agencies.
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, said: “India represents a region
with immense opportunities for WPP. We are committed to building
further momentum for our businesses there, through our Campus
investments. Having modern, dynamic workplaces creates real impact
for our people, and enables collaboration and ideas to thrive. We
work with some of the most progressive clients and teams in India
and we want to support their efforts in creating outstanding
work.”
WPP’s new Mumbai Campus will be named BAY99, which alludes to
the city’s historical roots and is also the Campus’ postal code
reference. Situated within The Orb, a brand-new complex next to the
international airport in the Sahar area, the location offers
various amenities, including convenient transport and social
options. The Orb complex will also offer more than 40 dining and
entertainment options within walking distance for staff to
enjoy.
In a first for WPP’s India offices, the co-location will bring
together more than 16 companies under one roof, with a space of
380,000 square feet over a 10-year lease. On-site, staff will enjoy
a host of modern facilities, ranging from a rooftop terrace to a
recreation lounge, library, cafeteria and more.
Commenting on the new Mumbai Campus, WPP Country Manager for
India, CVL Srinivas, said: “India is one of the most exciting
markets for WPP with great growth potential. By investing in
co-location campuses in key cities, we are bringing to life our
vision to lead the market as a creative transformation company and
to build a strong, cohesive WPP community. We support some of the
biggest brand names in India and more than ever, clients want to be
connected to easy processes and solutions, as well as a complete
suite of services. The new Campus means our teams will have
increased access to each other’s expertise and this will go far in
enabling our talent to do their very best work for clients.”
