Oracle to double staff in India to 6,000
New Delhi, July 10: Enthused by the tremendous growth prospects in India, global software company Oracle on Thursday launched an e-governance Centre of Excellence in association with Hewlett Packard in Gurgaon and announced its plans to double its headcount in the country to 6,000.
Addressing a summit in Delhi attended by Oracle's partners, customers and IT industry representatives via satellite from Oracle's global headquarters at Redwood Shores, California, Ellison pointed out that India's specialty lay in professional services such as software, accounting services and telesales.
"We see professional services moving to India. We do have software engineering teams in China but a larger software engineering team in India. We currently have 3,200 people in India and plan to more than double it to 6,000 in near term," Ellison said.
Lauding India for its skill-sets in service arena, he said, "We expect more companies to move (to India) and our company to expand here."
