Speaking at the occasion Tata Infotech Ltd. Head - education services
division, Rahul Thapan said, "As the Telecommunication markets are opened
by the government, a lot of companies plan to invest in the development of the
Network Infrastructure in the country. This in turn will fuel investment in
hardware and networking equipment, which will spur the demand for high-end and
quality human resources to integrate and maintain it. The differentiation will
not only be in terms of the quality of service, but the customer orientation of
these people. The job profiles available are in technical support, help desks,
network administration and network design. While high-end hardware networking
skills are required in telecommunications industry, the call center industry is
also employing persons with networking skills in large numbers to man its help
desk operations."
