Google was having some trouble finding some solid employees for their new India office. Google thought, “hey, might as well take a look at those Yahoo! employees.” So they did just that.

Google snatched up Yahoo!’s India CTO, Prasad Bharat Ram. Google set him on his way as the director of Research and Development for the new office.

“Prasad Ram brings to Google a wealth of experience in technology development and organisation building, as well as a deep knowledge of the local Indian market,” Alan Eustace, vice president of engineering at Google said on Monday, hinting the dire need of the world’s largest Internet firm, to bring in more talent for its centre, also a key for its growth in the emerging market.

This will be a key move for Google as they continue their global expansion.
