NEW DELHI: Global software firms are on a hiring spree in India. Over the next two years, global IT firms including Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), Cognizant Technology Solutions, Ness Technologies, Xansa, VMware Inc and Zylog Systems would together hire close to 40,000 IT professionals in India despite slowdown in the US economy and rising rupee, according to industry body Assocham.
���At the time when Indian firms seem to be curtailing the wage hikes and right-sizing the staff strength to prevent margins from shrinking, the robust headcount expansion plans of the global IT companies render a positive outlook to the job market,��� Assocham president Venugopal Dhoot said. CSC plans to hire close to 16,500 IT professionals in India in the next two years.
Cognizant also disclosed its intention to hire additional 14,700 in India this year. Besides, UK-based Zylog Systems also plan to hire more than 4,000 employees. Xansa would almost double its headcount in India to 10,000 from the current 5,200 in the next 2-3 years.
