Indian IT companies to increase China presence

The Middle Kingdom, China is beckoning Indian IT companies like never before.
Around 18 Indian companies including TCS, Infosys, Wipro and others have already
set up shop in the country and employ around 2,000 people.

NASSCOM Chairman, S Ramadorai said that he expects this number to double to
4,000 by year-end. NASSCOM, in fact, has decided to send a delegation of Indian
companies to China in September-October this year to look for opportunities to
address the market there.

This development is a consequence of the visit of Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao
to Bangalore in April this year, where he called for closer collaboration
between the two Asian countries. During the visit, Wen had commented that India
with its software prowess and China's hardware expertise, could take both the
countries to leadership position in IT.
