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.
Infosys founder and chairman emeritus N R Narayana Murthy said that the firm is setting up a new unit in Hubbali.
"Youngsters, from both Karnataka and other parts of India, all want to work in Bengaluru. We have worked so hard to convince youngsters to go to Bengaluru and Mysuru and other cities such as Indore, Nagpur, Bhubaneshwar,” said Murthy. “The reality is all youngsters want to be in Bengaluru.”
“My request to Minister (R V) Deshapande, chief minister (Siddaramaiah) is to help us make Bengaluru more livable , provide whatever infrastructure faclities is needed to ensure that there is access to educational facilities for industry professionals and for their children. Make commuting easy, have adequate healthcare facilities and leisure given that Bengaluru contributes 38% of IT industry’s contribution to the country," he said.
