Global fast-food leader McDonald’s is poised to set up its global office in Hyderabad, creating 2,000 jobs. This significant move follows the signing of an agreement with the Telangana government, as announced by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.

McDonald’s Chairman and CEO, Chris Kempczinski, along with other senior executives, met with the Chief Minister during a session at the Assembly today.

Kempczinski explained that Hyderabad was chosen due to its excellent infrastructure, a higher quality of life compared to cities like Bengaluru, and a robust talent pool. Chief Minister Reddy expressed his pride in having McDonald’s select Telangana for this major investment, particularly amidst competition from other states for this opportunity.

He assured the company of the government’s full support and emphasized the state’s commitment to skill development over the past 15 months. Reddy also encouraged McDonald’s to leverage the Young Skill India University as a training center, which would help in attracting skilled professionals not just for its global office but also for its restaurant operations.

Furthermore, he requested that the company consider sourcing agricultural products from local farmers to enhance the regional economy and provide them with a stable income.

Kempczinski mentioned that McDonald’s is dedicated to community development initiatives globally and aims to implement similar programs in Telangana in partnership with the government.

Currently, McDonald’s operates 38 outlets in Telangana and has plans to establish three to four additional outlets each year as part of its ongoing expansion strategy.
