What Microsoft will do with hundreds of new employees in India is not clear. However, it is clear that there is opportunity for high-tech growth in Asian nations like India and China. Other high-tech firms, like IBM, are also setting up outsourcing shops in India, and analysts expect the movement toward Asian countries to become an ongoing trend.
On the heels of Red Hat's foray into China last week, Microsoft today announced that it will hire hundreds of new employees at its Indian campus next year.
Microsoft currently employs 800 people at its US$400 million, 28-acre campus just outside India's high-tech hub of Hyderabad in Manikonda. Company executives said the hiring spree is aimed at leveraging growth opportunities in Asia's fourth-largest economy.
"I am quite sure of hiring hundreds over the next 12 months," Reuters quoted Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer as saying. "The work we are doing here is not low-level. It's very high-level creative engineering."
