IBM centres global network in India

IBM said today that it would triple its investments in India to $6bn ($4.6bn) in the next three years, as the South Asian country becomes a cornerstone in the global network of the world’s largest computer services company.

Chairman and Chief Executive Sam Palmisano said the investment will be used to build service delivery centres in Bangalore, India’s technology hub, and create a telecommunications research and innovation centre for IBM clients around the world.
