NTT DATA to hire 6,000 people in India by year-end to fuel growth plans

India is NTT DATA's second largest employee hub outside of Japan and also the fastest-growing market

NTT DATA, the $30 billion IT services arm of the Japanese telecommunications major NTT Group, aims to hire about 6,000 people in India by the end of this year -- an increase of 10-15 per cent to its existing talent base of about 40,000 people -- to fuel its growth plans. Globally, the company has a headcount of about 190,000.  

India is NTT DATA’s second largest employee hub outside Japan and also the fastest-growing market. Last year, the company said it will invest about $3 billion in India over the next five years to tap into the rising data centre business.
