»»BT plans R&D center in India
British telecoms firm BT Group Plc is planning to set up a research and development center in India.
The announcement was was given by Clive Ansell, BT Group Strategy Director, at a software industry conference in Mumbai.
He said:
“Given the skill base it makes real sense to look at India very seriously to do some of our research. The average skill set per dollar outsourced is rising all the time and at the moment, India seems able to deal with that.”
Mr. Ansell added BT already spends about $450 million on offshore outsourcing in India and the figure is expected to rise. BT also has technical support centres in some east European countries.
