In a strategic move, Oracle is now shifting its focus to start hiring within tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India.
Oracle has revealed it plans to establish a presence in every state capital. Through this, the company will be expanding its reach beyond major metro cities and will look into untapped potential within smaller cities in India.
“We have decentralised our operations in India and are opening more offices in small cities. We are also hiring more from tier-II and tier-III cities and giving flexibility to our employees to work from home, while offering them the same benefits,” Sanjeev Chauhan, Oracle India’s Vice President – Solution Engineering, revealed at the ‘24th ICT East’ organised by CII in Kolkata.
Chauhan emphasised that such a work culture has been a part of Oracle for over two decades and helped them navigate the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Currently, Oracle has about 58,000 employees across about 50 offices in India. The company’s Kolkata office itself has around 600 employees.
“We’ll like to have a presence in every state capital in India,” Chauhan added.
Oracle’s efforts to expand into smaller cities within India highlight its focus on decentralising its operations and encouraging local growth. This initiative will likely also help bridge the urban-rural employment divide.
