The Hindu Business Line : Satyam to recruit Singapore graduates

SATYAM Computer has announced a move to recruit fresh graduates from Singapore universities in its first management graduates hiring programme outside India to spur its software and outsourcing activities in South East Asia and China. Recently, it had also announced plans for mass recruitment for techies in Malaysia.

Having its Asia-Pacific headquarters and business continuity centre in Singapore, Satyam said it would hire five to six local graduates - Singapore citizens or permanent residents under Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry's Asian Business Fellowship programme. Under the programme, the Singapore Government will subsidise the training cost for a defined period before the recruits are deployed in India, China and Singapore.

The graduates will be drawn from the IT, business development and marketing courses and join approximately 100 fresh graduates in India in a management graduate's programme to be conducted at the Satyam Technology Centre in Hyderabad.

The Senior Vice-President, Human Resources at Satyam, Mr Hari Thalapalli, in a statement said, "Singaporeans, with their multicultural background and language skills, can play important roles skilfully in South East Asia and China and help Satyam move up the value chain."
