Logica, the UK-based information technology and business service provider, plans to add around 1,300 employees in the next 18 months for its new software delivery centre in Chennai. It currently has 200 employees working in the city.
The new centre at the DLF IT Park is part of Logica’s plan to double employee strength in India to 8,000 by 2009-end. “While expansion in Europe will be flat, the employee addition will happen in India,” said Andy Green, Global Chief Executive, Logica.
The new centre will support Logica’s future offshore growth providing services in the areas of business process outsourcing, remote infrastructure management and application services, he told newspersons.
Logica has earmarked £8 million to accelerate its ‘blended delivery’ that combines local presence in Europe with the use of offshore resources in India. This gives customers the benefit from a mix of expertise, availability of good talent and cost competitiveness, he said.
The expansion in Chennai follows the launch of Spark Innovation Centre in Bangalore by Logica on Monday. This is the second such innovation centre (the first one was launched in May in Lisbon, Portugal) to focus on mobility solutions.
