Tech support in India

As noted previously, Apple is working to setup a new tech support center in India. A new report says that Apple will hire as many as 1,500 people by the end of this year and is expected to have a total of 3,000 employees by the end of 2007 in its Bangalore facility. "Sources say the Bangalore facility is being set up for Apple by property developer RMZ Corp in its EcoSpace property on the outer ring road near Marathahalli." The report says that RMZ is developing a 150,000 square-foot facility in the first phase and another 150,000 square-foot in the second phase. The report says that the operations would begin within the next two months and that the decision to set up the facility in Bangalore was "taken after a rigorous examination of seven cities in India. The tech support centre is expected to be on the lines of the one that Dell has in India."
