IBM now has almost 25,000 offshore workers in India
Posted by Dominic Basulto
IBM opened yet another software development center in India and announced plans to hire 1,000 programmers in the new center by the end of the year. That's on top of the 23,000 other employees that IBM has at its four other software development centers in India. For some reason, that just seems like a big number. 25,000 people. Combine it with IBM's decision to sell off its ThinkPad business to Chinese PC maker Lenovo, and that's the future: cheap, high-skilled labor in India and cheap, high-quality products from China.
