Global business consultancy Deloitte announced its decision to hire 15,000 people in India in the upcoming year. This decision of the company came soon after Infosys declared its decision to hire 2000 people. “We are very upbeat about the Indian economy and have major expansion plans in India,”“The (global economic) crisis is also an opportunity to expand and acquire assets at attractive valuations. We believe that India and China will be leading the global economic recovery. Europe will be very slow to recover. So it makes sense to invest here,”said Jim Quigley, Deloitte's Global Chief Executive. The company is bent on making investments in the country considering the fact that even at the time of the economic crisis the country exhibited a growth of about 30 percent.
