MUMBAI: With a view to provide enhanced ICT services in India, networking giant Cisco Systems plans to hire 3,000 professionals over the next two years, a top company official said.

"We are quite happy about our Indian operations. As Bangalore is the second head office for Cisco after California, we want to increase our headcount here. We plan to hire 3,000 more in the next two years," Cisco's Chief Globalisation Officer and Executive Vice-President, Wim Elfrink, told media here on Wednesday.

Cisco's current headcount in India is 7,000 and plans are on track to take it up to 10,000 in the next two years.

The USD 40-billion company, which is focussed on multiple verticals and especially the Government sector, is developing an about 1-million sq ft campus in Bangalore, the firm's second head office.

The campus is likely to house 8-10 start-up companies.
