NEW DELHI: Software giant Infosys Technologies on Monday announced its plans to ramp up operations in Pune with an investment of Rs 250 crore in the facility over the next few years. The firm will also add 5,000 jobs at the Pune facility. The company, which already holds 25 acres of land at Pune Infotech Park, Hinjewadi, on Monday acquired 100 acres of land in Phase-II of the Infotech Park. This expansion, it said, will enable the Infosys centre to house an additional 5,000 software professionals. The Pune centre currently employs 2,200 people and generated revenues of Rs 380 crore for the year ending March 31, 2003. The development centre in Pune anchors Infosys' relationships with multimillion-dollar clients from Canada, East coast of US, Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.
