CSC Is Looking To Double Its India Workforce To 32,000 By 2011
One of the top software service vendors in the world, CSC plans to double its Indian workforce to 32,000 in the next three years, as this country becomes the nucleus of the offshoring growth strategy for the company and gets set to take on work in new businesses that it plans to enter. The Virginia firm, which began operations in India as early as 1991, provides software application development, computer infrastructure management, tech consulting, Web hosting and system integration services to global customers in banking and financial services, manufacturing and health care, as well as to government clients. This year, CSC is entering three new businesseschemical engineering, natural resources and consumer servicesthat will become operational by March next year. Globally, CSC employs around 91,000 people, more than one-sixth of who are employed in India currently. “India is an integral part of our offshoring strategy. It has the largest resource base for CSC outside the U.S. and we are set to double that in the next three years. As we enter into these three new businesses, a majority of the work for these three verticals will be serviced from India,” said Joe Doherty, division president, global outsourcing services organization, the Americas, for CSC.
