Oracle plans to expand operations in India
(Edited News, Soure AP): U.S. business software maker Oracle Corp. plans to expand its sales, consulting and support operations in India, focusing on small and midsized companies in the country's towns and rural areas, a company executive said Tuesday.
Oracle already operates in six Indian cities, and it plans to set up shop in nine more in the next eight months and add 1,400 employees to its existing Indian work force of 8,600.
Over the past five years, Oracle has invested more than $2 billion in India, including setting up research and development centers in Hyderabad and Bangalore.
Oracle, based Redwood Shores, California, currently has more than 6,400 customers in India, where some 80% of Indian banks and 90% of Indian telecommunications companies use Oracle software, some of which supports 13 Indian languages.
