Google has big plans for India in next three to five years. It plans to hire more people from India for its brand advertising business and considers India as an impactful market.
"Our focus in India is growth. India is going to be one of the 10 most impactful markets for Google in three to five years. There will be minimal impact on India in terms of job cuts announced globally," said Google India MD Shailesh Rao.
Google currently has four offices in India, located in Bangalore, Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Mumbai. After U.S., Google has the highest headcount in India. Even after having such a strong presence at the moment, India does not drive global revenue, Rao added.

Nortel opens new center in Bangalore
Nortel has opened a new Global Network Operations Center (GNOC) in Bangalore, India, to help remotely manage and support communications networks for enterprise and carrier customers across Asia, Europe and the Americas.
The Bangalore GNOC provides round-the-clock network surveillance and performance monitoring for voice and data networks. This enables Nortel enterprise and carrier customers to focus their resources on their core business, instead of dedicating costly IT resources to maintain and manage their communications networks. This, in turn, helps these companies lower operational costs, maximize network efficiency and performance, and keep abreast with new, evolving technologies.
The GNOC monitors customer network to identify network problems before they can impact business functions or productivity, and seeks to resolve issues either remotely from the GNOC or by dispatching technicians to the customer's site. This is Nortel's fifth Network Operations Center.
Nortel's other NOCs are located in North America, Europe, China and India (Gurgaon). The latter supports the managed services requirements of Bharti Airtel and other local customers.

No job losses in BPO sector, says Nasscom
Software and BPO industry body Nasscom on Wednesday said the business process outsourcing sector is not in the danger of losing jobs due to the ongoing economic downturn rather a net hirer in the current fiscal.
In a statement here Nasscom said, "Media reports suggest that the Indian BPO industry will see 2.5 lakh job losses by the first quarter of 2009, in the wake of downturn in the US and other developed economies. NASSCOM's research
and interaction with its member companies is not in support of this statement.
Our detailed industry performance and forecast for FY09 will be released in the next fortnight. However, on employment the industry will continue to be a net hirer in FY09 as a direct corollary of industry growth and fears of large scale job losses at an industry level are unfounded."
The industry body's comment comes in the wake BPO Industry Association President Samir Chopra stating that "severe job loss is expected because of recession.
We are going to request for a fiscal package from the Government but if that doesn't happen, then there be huge amount of losses in terms of manpower. I think a quarter of a million jobs will go."
The $11-billion BPO sector employs about seven lakh people.
