Indian firms hire Americans to drive growth
Officials at Wipro Technologies too said they have been hiring Americans right from its inception.
"We started to hire local talent from the mid-1990s. Wipro initially focused on sales talent and progressively expanded across the consulting and technology domains."
Wipro also aggressively hires from leading colleges and business schools across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, Raja said.
The company had hired in excess of 1,400 non-Indian local hires across the globe either through direct hiring from the market/colleges or through acquisitions.
