Cognizant tapping opportunity
March 4, 2008 – 7:36 amFor those who thought that Indian economy is facing a hard time and that all the Indian private firms and MNC’s are just after their employee’s life, this piece of good news comes as a relief and can actually help them take a chill pill. The global BPO company ‘Cognizant Technology Solutions’ has announced that it is planning to increase its Indian employee headcount by about 75%. Isn’t it some thing very good? And to top this is another news according to which the company will also plan to widen its talent pool from just engineers and other management employees to lawyers, doctors, Chartered Accountant, graphic designers, user interface specialists and other specialists for developing content and designs.
It appears as if the global Business Process Outsourcing giant is beginning to identify the sensitive areas of Indian business industry and is ready to tap the opportunities which others might have failed to recognize. Internet and web technology giants like Yahoo and IBM have known to cut their workforce as a consequence to the economic uncertainties and wage inflation in US. But BPO company ‘Cognizant Technology Solutions’ seems to be untouched by it as the company has its own plans to expand workforce in not just India but all over the world.
Sure, the Indian economy and business sector is on its way to prosper and fly high.
