Bullish on strong growth prospects in India, global IT consultancy Capgemini has hired 10,000 people so far in 2010 and plans to recruit another 7,000 by the year-end. "We have already hired more than 10,000 people as of July. We plan to recruit further 7,000 within this year," Capgemini India executive chairman Salil Parekh said.
Placing emphasis on the importance of the Indian market in the group's growth strategy, Parekh said, "Capgemini India is an important resource centre to drive Capgemini's Rightshore model and is also the main innovation hub for the group."
"Additionally, the domestic market in India has also seen a lot of traction. We have added more than 40 clients in the last 18 months. With such a lot of growth, we need to be in a position to service this and, hence, have stepped up the recruitment process," he said.
Capgemini India's employee strength was at 26,000 in June 2010. It has a strong presence across seven cities in India.
