Google plans to hire 300 people in India

 

Global Internet search giant Google Inc on Thursday announced plans to hire 300 people to double its engineering headcount in India and strengthen Hyderabad as its largest cloud computing research and development centre in the world.

The firm plans to recruit 300 engineers in couple of years to increase its presence in India with focus on cloud computing.

Peeyush Ranjan, head of engineering, Google India, told reporters here that 300 engineers were already working in Hyderabad and Bangalore on cloud computing.

Cloud computing is web-based processing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices such as smart phones on demand over the Internet.Google already has cloud computing centres in Mountain View in California and New York but the Hyderabad centre is the largest in terms of the number of engineers working here.

Google already has 2,000 employees in India and the Hyderabad engineering centre will be core to its efforts to focus on cloud computing, he said.

While the engineering centre in Bangalore is working on cloud computing as well as search, ads, maps and news, the Hyderabad centre is focusing only on cloud computing.

"The work being done in these two centres are global in nature and the technologies they are developing are for the business globally," he said.

There is an administrative control panel in Bangalore which manages the business of a customer once it is up in clouds.

"India is a great market for cloud computing as it is the most price sensitive. Since cloud computing ensures efficiency and better utilization of resources, small and medium business are excited about it," he said.

Google has around three million customers in cloud computing globally. About 100,000 businesses in India are already using Google's cloud computing technologies.

 

Wipro GE Healthcare to hire 600 in 2 years

WIPRO GE Healthcare on Friday said it will hire up to 600 people to enhance its marketing force in the next two years, as part of plans to clock a revenue of $1 billion by 2015. The firm, a joint venture between Wipro and global conglomerate GE's healthcare business, also said it will launch 10-12 products, which have been designed and developed in India in three years time. "We have been beefing up our distribution system. While we are already present in 300 out of the 600 districts across the country, now we are looking at having individuals who can directly sell products in those local areas," Wipro GE Healthcare managing director V Raja said.

   In order to do that the company will add 500 to 600 people in the next two years, he added. "These people will be hired for all front-end related activities such as marketing and sales and market research," Mr Raja said. He said WGH has been shifting its emphasis from catering global needs to meeting local demand.

   "So in the next three years there would be about 10-12 products, which have been designed and developed in India, launched for the local market," he said. At present the company has 14 products which are locally developed. "These are all parts of our plans to clock a turnover of $1 billion in the next five years," Mr Raja said, adding "at present we are somewhere near the half-way mark." He also said going forward the firm expects contribution of domestic revenues to reach 50% in the next 3-5 years from the current 10%.
