Wipro to double jobs
30th August, 2008
Wipro is gearing to double its workforce in Calcutta from 5,000 to over 10,000 in the next three to five years. The IT major is also planning to scale up its investments in the city.
Wipro’s expansion plans in Calcutta, which had run into land trouble, have picked up pace after the state government assured speedy delivery of 90 acres at the proposed IT City behind Vedic Village.
“We expect to take possession of the land behind Vedic Village by the end of 2008 and start construction by early next year,” said Suresh C. Senapaty, the chief financial officer and executive director of Wipro.
