Chandigarh: Leading software and telephone solutions provider, Tech Mahindra, is setting up its integrated IT campus at Chandigarh's IT park with an investment of 
2 billion ($51 million).
Punjab governor and Chandigarh's administrator S.F. Rodrigues laid the foundation stone of the campus Wednesday in the presence of Mahindra & Mahindra group chairman Keshub Mahindra.
The campus will be built on 15 acres of land at the Rajiv Gandhi Chandigarh Technology Park (RGCTP).
It will employ over 5,000 people when completed in two years.
Tech Mahindra's software development centre will be the second integrated campus to come up at the RGCTP.
The biggest campus at the park - Infosys' - is already operational. Several other IT companies have also set up their software centres at the DLF building here.
The RGCTP has a capacity to employ over 67,000 technical personnel and three times more skilled workforce when other software campuses start functioning here.
"The Mahindra group has always focused on creating an education epicentre within the city and upgrading vocational skills of our people," Keshub Mahindra said at the ceremony.
Tech Mahindra vice-chairman Vineet Nayyar said that the company chose Chandigarh for setting up the software campus due of its rapidly developing infrastructure, IT-friendly policies and access to a pool of high quality software professionals.
