Microsoft Corporation India would be working to further expand the reach of its e-governance initiative in states in alliance with local partners.
The states of east and north-east would for example be approached by Microsoft in alliance with the West Bengal Electronics Industry Development Corporation (Webel), Microsoft managing director Rajiv Kaul said.
As a company, Microsoft was well on target to grow at more than twice the industry rate. The company has added on around 30 per cent more people in the last two years and would recruit 30-40 more people within its financial year ending in June.
Kaul said the alliance between Microsoft and regional entities like Webel was working well. In this case, Microsoft and Webel felt that the combined credibility and resources of the alliance would be able to meet the needs and requirements of states like Jharkhand in the east and Assam in the north-east.
