“India's GCC playbook is evolving from commercial leasing toward permanent, self-owned campuses. KLA Corporation investing over ₹1,000 crore to acquire 12 acres on the Pallavaram Radial Road reflects deep long-term conviction. It proves that global chip leaders view Chennai not just as a support center, but as a core pillar of their global engineering and semiconductor R&D roadmap,” said Raja Seetharaman, cofounder Propstack.

An email query was sent to KLA Tencor Software India Pvt Ltd. The story will be updated if a response is received.
