Infosys and Wipro will together invest Rs 1,000 crore in setting up
various facilities in Kolkata.
Infosys will set up a "multi-technology, multi-service" development
centre near the Rajarhat-Vedic area at an investment of Rs 500 crore
in the first phase. The development centre will be spread over 90
acres of land and engage 5,000 people.
It will be a Special Economic Zone, Kris Gopalakrishnan, CEO and

Buildings here on Thursday after he, along with senior company
officials, met the West Bengal Chief Minister, Buddhadeb
Bhattacherjee, and others here.
Gopalakrishnan said the development centre here would be engaged in
