US software giant Microsoft has inaugurated a brand new office inspired by the magnificent Taj Mahal in Noida, an industrial town near the Indian capital city of New Delhi.
The Windows-maker shared glimpses of its new Microsoft India Development Centre on Twitter, flaunting its corridors made of ivory white marble, domed ceilings as well as other textures and designs inspired by Mughal architecture across the office space.
"To empower our people to achieve more, we are now broadening our horizons", Microsoft wrote, sharing a video of the office.

Beautiful. Everyone should build with local themes like this. Now a days all buildings are big black glass boxes making this world bland place. If possible renovate all your buildings to match local culture/theme.❤️
