Microsoft will increase the number of staff at its software development centre in Hyderabad from 200 to around 500 by 2005 while Hewlett-Packard is setting up a back-office accounts processing facility in Bangalore for expanding outsourcing operations in India. Microsoft is also increasing the headcount at another centre in Hyderabad that handles application development for the corporations in-house IT requirements and already employs about 125 staff, media reports said.
