Human Resources Alcatel to hire 1,000 more V. Rishi Kumar
Hyderabad , March 23 TELECOM major Alcatel plans to recruit about 1,000 more this year, doubling its headcount in two R&D centres in Gurgaon and Chennai. The Chief Technology Officer, Mr Olivier Baujard, who is the country to commission its new Gurgaon facility, told Business Line over phone that the company sees India as one of the fastest growing markets. While the Gurgaon centre focuses on areas of innovation such as VPN (virtual private networks), short messaging services and other related research areas, the Chennai centre concentrates on embedded software development and ASDL (asynchronous digital subscriber loop). The Indian team for Alcatel has grown to about 1,000 people with 70 per cent of them engaged in R&D. Of this, about two thirds are based in Chennai and the rest in Gurgaon. With regard to the earlier plans for possible mobile phone handset facility in India, Mr Baujard said its joint venture partner TCL would have to decide where to locate the plant.
