Leading IT Services, business solutions and outsourcing firm Tata Consultancy Services plans to hire 25,000 people this year, a move that is likely to give a fillip to the country’s IT recruitment scene which is seeing a slowdown since the collapse of Lehman Brothers last September.
“We have an employee strength of 1.45 lakh people and we want to add 25,000 more people this year,” a PTI report quoted TCS vice president (Head Global Government Industry Group) Tanmoy Chakrabarty as saying in Chandigarh.He added that the company hopes to raise the revenue for government projects to at least 10 per cent of the total revenue in the next three years.
TCS also reportedly said it was hoping to implement the Centre’s ambitious Rs 1,000-crore ‘Passport Seva Project’ at six pilot locations in October this year and will take this number to 77 by June 2010.
