The Hindu Business Line — December 11, 2006

Tata Consultancy Services has signed an agreement with Morocco to set up a 500-employees unit, which would help create over 25,000 IT jobs in the Arab nation. TCS Morocco, which would function out of Casablanca, would be an offshoring delivery centre for the French and Spanish speaking parts of Europe, and begin operations in January 2007. The TCS vice-president and head of Global Government Industry Group, Tanmay Chakrabarty, told PTI that the unit was likely to employ nearly 500 Moroccan nationals and could rise to at least 1,000 within the next couple of years. The company would also provide IT training services in the country that would help create over 25,000 jobs in the offshoring space by 2010, Chakrabarty said.
