BANGALORE: Accenture Ltd has said that it would hire another 1,500 employees to make its Indian technology center a strategic hub, as clients seek more value for money.



Accenture, tapping an army of low-cost engineers in India, aims to more than double its Indian software and back-office staff to 2,500 within two years, country marketing head Ashish Bhushan said.



The consulting giant's big push into India comes at a time when rival Indian software services giants, including Infosys Technologies and Wipro are seeking a bigger share of software spending from global clients.



Domestic players, who gained an early lead with the help of low-cost local engineers, now compete for both talent and business with global firms like Accenture, EDS and IBM for multi-million dollar, long-term outsourcing contracts.
