Accenture Is Now An Indian Firm
Come August and Accenture Ltd will, for all practical purposes, become an Indian company. That is, the company will have more employees there than in the U.S. The company will increase its workforce in India to 35,000 people by Aug. 31, the end of its fiscal year. The increase in staff in India means Accenture will have more employees there than in the U.S., where it will have just over 30,000, the company's chairman and CEO, William D. Green, recently announced.
Most of the staff in India will work in Accenture's Global Delivery Network, which will have a total of about 65,000 people worldwide by August. The company offers IT and BPO services from India, and it's planning to train its staff there in business consulting and other areas. It has established a business consulting analytics center in Delhi. Computerworld.com reports:
Accenture is expanding in other locations outside of India, including China, where it has deployed four Indian managers at an operation with 3,700 employees. "There will not be another phenomenon like India," said Green, adding that no other country will overtake India in terms of number of employees for at least 10 years,” Green said.
