IBM to add 3,000 new employees in India

NEW DELHI  - IBM, the world's largest computer services company, will add up to 3,000 new staff in Kolkata to augment its global delivery service capability, a company official said on Thursday.

"We are very bullish to fill up this capacity very soon because the business is growing and customers are showing more and more interest in sourcing of global delivery services," Amitabh Ray, vice-president for application services at IBM India, told Reuters.

In June, IBM said it would invest $6 billion in India over three years as a part of its move to increase outsourcing services and client management from Asia's fourth-largest economy.
