Green, said on Monday that by the end of the company’s fiscal (August), the total number of employees in its Indian operations will be 35,000 including 10,000 employees in its BPO business thereby replacing the US as its largest location (read story).

The US operations will have around 32,000 employees towards the end of this fiscal. Mr Green said with this addition, the global delivery network will have a total of 65,000 employees boosting the total strength to over 1.5 lakh.
