IT major Wipro is setting up new software development centres in Bengaluru that would potentially employ 25,000 people, while its cross town rival Infosys is setting up a centre in Hubbali in North Karnataka.
“We are in the midst of expansion, which will add 25,000 people to Karnataka and to Bengaluru. Our experience is that Bengaluru is a source of technical talent. Inspite of Bengaluru's infrastructure, it has very nice weather, people with very strong science background and it is a cosmopolitan city,” Wipro Chairman Azim Premji told the Invest Karnataka summit here on Wednesday.
