Accenture bets big on Indian talent for technology; CEO Julie Sweet announces ‘Hiring primarily in India…’

With an eye to keep the talent strategy same, IT firm Accenture is betting big on Indian talent for technology, and plans to hire more in the country. Julie Sweet, the chief executive officer of Accenture said that the company is hiring primarily in India.

“We are hiring primarily in India, so a lot of that hiring is technology in India, and of course it also addresses refreshing our pyramid at this time, so you’ve got kind of the new college graduates coming in, so there’s really no change in our talent strategy,” said Julie Sweet, during an investors’ call.
