Japanese system and software developers are expanding their operations in India in a growing shift from China to the South Asian country, which has many English-speaking engineers with ample experience catering to clients from Western nations.
Hitachi Ltd. recently set up Hitachi Consulting India Pvt. Ltd. with a capital of 40 million rupees (74 million yen) to develop systems for Western companies. The Indian unit has hired about 100 Indian IT engineers, and intends to expand its workforce to 400 people in 2012.
NEC Corp, for its part, plans to increase the number of its engineers in India to more than 1,000 in fiscal 2012 from about 300 at present, to strengthen its systems-development capability in areas such as fingerprint authentication systems aimed at public organizations worldwide.
