IBM has been building a huge workforce in India, although 2009's company headcount in that country remained flat due to the global recession.From an Economic Times Of India article:

"We plan to focus more in the services sector by opening more BPO centres in India. We would recruit at least 5,000 peopleto support this expansion," IBM Poland's senior advisory consultant, Selby Mascarenhas, said in New Delhi.
