India-based Wipro Ltd. Sees Bright Future in Michigan
East Brunswick, NJ (PRWEB) June 20, 2008 -- Wipro Ltd., a rapidly growing Indian IT, engineering and business-process outsourcing company, has plans to expand their operations in Michigan.
Wipro Ltd. has recently entered into a new lease in the National City Center building on West Big Beaver in Troy. The new building is located very near to Quantech Global Services LLC, Wipro's first presence in the area. The Bangalore, India-based company has been immensely successful and now sees Michigan as ripe with talent and opportunities.
"The company has had 'ongoing' discussions with state officials regarding future expansion opportunities," said Sridhar Ramasubbu, CFO-Americas. The Troy office "is the first step towards bigger plans for Michigan," Ramasubbu said. "The company's software development centers provide outsourced engineering services, applications management and business process management. The new Troy office ultimately could house 100 employees."
The Michigan center will be part of a global recruiting strategy that leverages local talent for Wipro's outsourced engineering services. "This center will look at supporting the engineering services, but could be expanded to offer the other services as well," Ramasubbu said.
The Detroit Regional Chamber has organized two trips to Wipro's headquarters in Bangalore. Maureen Krauss, Oakland County's deputy economic development director, said officials were impressed by the culture of the company and by its commitment to training employees and expanding worldwide.
The scale of its Michigan expansion would depend on Wipro's success attracting engineering customers to its new Detroit-area office, but could grow to as many as 500 employees, Ramasubbu said. "We understand there is good engineering talent available, high-tech talent, and we'd like to see if we can make use of this talent."
