CGI to hire 15,000 over the next 5 years

BENGALURU: CGI plans to hire nearly 15,000 people in India over the next four to five years, the Canadian IT services provider’s founder said.

The software services company’s India offices, which currently employ nearly 15,000 people, play a strategic role in service delivery across key markets. The about $12 billion company follows a strategy of setting up bases close to client locations, either organically or through acquisitions, Serge Godin, founder and executive chairman of CGI told ET in an interview. India continues to be one of the largest facilities outside Montreal, he added.
