Microsoft Corp plans to double its staff strength at its Indian centres in Hyderabad and Bangalore by March 2006, a top company official said late on Saturday.
"We aim to ramp up the strength at the India Development Centre (in Hyderabad) by another 1,000 professionals," Tess Field, Microsoft's head of human resources in India, told reporters on the sidelines of a management convention.
The Hyderabad campus in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh is the software maker's largest campus outside the United States and provides product development and support services.
The 28-acre (11 hectare) campus, which opened last November, also houses a global delivery centre and is part of a three-year, $400 million investment plan for India announced in 2002.
Microsoft also plans to double the headcount to around 1,000 staff members at its technology centre in India's premier software hub of Bangalore, Field said.
