Oracle has plans to expand its 19,000-employee base for its operations in India. "India has always been important for us. Currently, almost 19,000 people are employed with us and we plan to increase it significantly in the coming years", Mark Gibbs, senior vice president Asia Pacific, Oracle, said.
"We have also been making significant investments here and we will invest considerable amount of money on an ongoing basis", Gibbs said.
Oracle has invested over USD 2 billion over the past five years in India and has two development centres.
Oracle has been witness to tremendous growth from the 436 partners in India. These partners provide more than 80 per cent of Oracle's business in the country.
Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), consulting organisations, resellers and VARs, who sell and implement Oracle's database, middleware and enterprise applications products, in India and abroad are the ones that constiture Oracle’s partners.
"Our Indian partners have large Oracle practices that benefit our customers in India and abroad," said Bronwyn Hastings, vice president, Oracle's Alliances and Channel in the Asia Pacific region.
"As Oracle continues to broaden its business and solutions portfolio, our partners in India are also stepping up their resources and investments to fully leverage the Oracle applications and technology product lines to create innovative, market-leading solutions for our joint customers," he added.
Oracle has revealed the 32 recipients of the Oracle partner network (OPN) partner awards for India.
