Associated Press Dell to Increase Presence in India Dell Computer Corp. to Increase Presence in India BANGALORE, India (AP) -- Dell Computer Corp. (NasdaqNM:DELL - news) plans to increase its investment in India by having more of its software development and routine office functions done from its Indian center, company chief Michael Dell said Tuesday. "We will increase our investment as our business and need grow, but I cannot give you the figure," said Dell, chairman and chief executive of the Austin, Texas-based firm. He was making a one-day visit to Bangalore, considered India's technology hub. Dell refused to divulge specifics about investment or recruitment, but said there would be a significant increase in the Indian staff of 800 people. The company runs a customer contact center in Bangalore to serve Dell's customers in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. Dell also has software developed in India for bundling in the company's computers and for internal use. Dell said he is looking at whether it would be useful to "move other back office functions to Bangalore." Such functions often include payroll processing, accounting and staff benefits services, routine functions that may not be at the core of a company's activities and can be performed more cheaply by others. biz.yahoo.com
