In addition to work-related amenities, the campus features recreational facilities such as quiet rooms, recreational lounges, and onsite healthcare facilities to promote colleague well-being and work-life balance. A cafeteria, fitness facilities, outdoor sports courts, indoor table games, and terraces further aim to "foster a sense of community and belonging".

The building incorporates advanced technologies aimed at reducing environmental impact, including LED lighting for energy efficiency, smart building systems for optimal facility utilisation, electric vehicle charging stations, and renewable energy sources such as solar thermal power. Waste management and water reclamation initiatives underscore American Express' commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Gagandeep Singh, Senior Vice President of Global Real Estate and Workplace Experience at American Express, said, "Our new India campus is the largest office we've built from the ground up globally, and the facility is a fitting reflection of the American Express brand and the kind of workplace where our colleagues can thrive."
