IBM growing in India

NEW DELHI: IBM's back-office unit in India has increased its staff more than threefold to 20,000 in less than two years to meet rapidly growing demand for outsourcing, a top executive at the unit said Monday.

"We've seen a 100 percent growth in revenue over the two years," Pavan Vaish, chief operating officer at IBM Daksh Business Process Services, said, without providing specific figures. IBM, the world's biggest computer-services firm, bought Daksh in 2004 as part of its strategy to use India as a global delivery hub for software and client services.

International Business Machines, which gets about half its revenue from information technology consulting and outsourcing, is the largest multinational firm in India with 43,000 employees. Nearly half of them work at Daksh.(Reuters)
