Dell, the most profitable computer maker in the world, announced on Friday that its Indian operations will employ close to 10,000 people by the end of the current year, said media reports on Friday.
The computer maker indicated that it will continue to expand in India because of the availability of cheap and highly skilled talent and its operations in the country already employ close to 8,000 Indians.
Kevin Rollins, Dell President and CEO, said that the company had recruited Indians for its global product group, global development unit, sales and service operations and call centres.
"By the end of this year, our team should be 10,000 strong and it has been growing consistently. The talent base and capability in this country is second to none " Rollins told the media in the Bangalore.
Rollins pointed out that Dell was confident about the future and has revised its revenue target from $60 billion to $80 billion to be achieved in the next three to four years.
"Dell is today turning from a personal-computer-maker into a broad-based IT supply company handling customers, consumers, global corporations and offering opportunities for a country like India," he said, according to media reports.
Dell which recently opened a call centre Chandigarh, had last year moved one of its call centres based in Bangalore out of India due to the poor quality of its English-speaking employees.
Rollins though said that the decision to shut the center was because Dell failed to manage a rapidly growing business in India.
"We were growing too much, too fast, in too many places. Now we have slowed down and prioritised our growth. It was a misunderstanding," he said.
