Google has a lot going on in India: We have offices in four cities. We're building some new, interesting products—like Google Map Maker and many others on India Labs — for Indian users. We have great aloo parathas in our cafes. And we have the largest number of Googlers outside the United States. But ... we didn't have an official blog where we could talk about the exciting things we're working on.

Fortunately, that last one is an easy problem to solve: Today, we're delighted to announce the start of our Official Google India Blog.

This is where we'll share news about Google products and initiatives, talk about our involvement in the Indian community, and give readers an insight into daily life at our offices. You'll hear from software engineers, product managers, sales heads and a whole host of other Indian Googlers.

There are a lot of things we're keen to share with you, so check back often for updates or add our feed in Google Reader. And please take a look at the links to the right of this page to see some of our local sites, including Google News, where we're hiring, and YouTube.
