Microsoft to double Hyderabad workforce

Microsoft India will double its workforce at Hyderabad and is recruiting people of Indian origin in the US to work here, according to Ms Rebecca DuBose Ward, Director, Intellectual Property & Licensing, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt Ltd.Addressing an Indo-US seminar and workshop on IPR enforcement, she said that the company was planning to double the numbers of employees at its software development centre in Hyderabad, where it employs over 800 people.

India is in a transition phase and moving from a "renter of intellectual property to producer of intellectual property." Microsoft's employees tend to strike out on their own and that could happen in India too. This would mean that they would expect protection for their intellectual property. India would need strong intellectual property regime under such conditions, she said.
