“Following the iGate integration, we wondered how we can put India at the heart of the group. The question is: is it the heart, the brain or backbone? For me, it is the backbone of the group because it (India) holds the group together,” Hermelin said at a media event in Mumbai.

Post iGate’s acquisition, the headcount of the group in India increased to around 90,000 people, making the country its largest offshore center. The company plans to further hire 25,000 to 30,000 employees in India over the next one year. Currently it has an employee strength of nearly 190,000 across the globe, reports Live Mint.
