MUMBAI: India's top software company Tata Consultancy Services plans to increase its headcount in its facilities in eastern Europe, Latin America and China and double its non-Indian workforce over a period of three years.
TCS employs 71,190 people, 7.3 per cent of whom are non-Indians, thanks to the global acquisitions made by the company during the last six months.
"We aim to reach a stage in the next two-three years, whereby around 15 per cent of our employees will be non-Indians. We have begun hiring around 4,000 people in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Australia and China," said TCS executive vice-president (global human resources) S Padmanabhan.
Presently, the IT major that reported a low attrition rate of 10.6 per cent for last 12 months, has nationals of 53 countries as employees.
India's IT and ITES sector, which contributes 4.8 per cent to the country's Gross Domestic Product, is facing a manpower crunch and has been demanding raising the quality of engineering education to meet the shortfall.
