Microsoft now joins Cisco & Intel alongwith a flurry of other companies jumping in to invest in ...yes..its India again. It was quite expected and now India is all praises for the super hero.
Today, Microsoft announced that they would be investing $1.7 billion in India, adding 3,000 more jobs to its current workforce of 4,000. ``We are keen to grow Microsoft activities in India,'' Chairman Bill Gates said, according to the report. Ironically, the growth in employment for Microsoft will be more in India than the United States.
Apparently, there is also an increase in outsourcing backlash in US. Yet none of this outcry seems to make much of a difference to the tech giants investing BIG bucks in India.
Microsoft will create a new research center in Bangalore, India's technology hub. That center is expected to open next month. Microsoft also has a research center in Hyderabad, India.
Some of the money will be used to create a version of the Windows operating system for India that will be available in nine languages.
