India – WPP has bolstered its investment in India with the launch of a new state-of-the-art campus in Chennai, further solidifying the country’s role as a key growth market for the global company.
The new Chennai campus, WPP’s third in India following Mumbai and Gurgaon, is a key part of the company’s global strategy to create inspiring, collaborative, and flexible workspaces for its teams.
Located at RMZ One Paramount, the new campus is designed to elevate the employee experience, offering a range of amenities including a dedicated food and beverage marketplace, EV charging stations, a daycare centre, permanent art installations by renowned artists, and a wellness terrace featuring a futsal court, running track, and yoga deck. Spanning over 62,000 square feet, the campus will initially accommodate more than 330 employees in its first phase, with plans to expand to 650 by mid-2025.
Additionally, in line with its net-zero commitments, WPP’s circular-designed campus incorporates sustainable materials and features such as grey water recycling, roof collection, on-site electricity generation, and regenerative architecture. RMZ One Paramount has also achieved LEED Platinum certification for its sustainability efforts.
By bringing together top talent, advanced technology, and world-class facilities, WPP can better support its teams in their career development and in delivering exceptional results for clients.
WPP’s Enterprise Technology team in India is the first to occupy the new Chennai campus, with additional teams set to join in the future.
CVL Srinivas, country manager for India at WPP, said, “The scalability of our operations and expertise of our team in India makes it the prime location to power WPP’s global support functions, including the WPP Enterprise Technology team. WPP’s commitment to India through our investment in a new Chennai campus, with further campuses in Bangalore and Coimbatore on the near horizon, ensures the market will remain a significant growth driver for WPP.”
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, also commented, “India continues to be one of our fastest-growing markets thanks to its technological innovation, creative output, and specialist skillsets. WPP is committed to investing in India through our new campuses, creating spaces that foster collaboration, inspire creativity, and enable career development. In doing so, we are opening up new opportunities for our people in India and supporting our clients’ growth ambitions—both domestically, in the world’s most populous nation, and abroad.”
With a workforce of over 11,000, India is a key growth engine and WPP’s fifth-largest market, housing some of the company’s top-performing agency teams as well as vital global support functions.
The company also plans to expand its presence in India with additional campuses in Bangalore and Coimbatore in the coming years.
