IT firm Cognizant on Thursday said it has set up a new regional technology and service delivery centre in Texas that will facilitate creation of 1,100 new jobs by 2023.
The opening follows a November 2017 announcement by Texas Governor Greg Abbott on the company’s plan to invest more than $8 million to expand in Irving, Texas, Cognizant said in a statement.
The company has been significantly ramping up headcount in the US in a bid to woo the Trump administration that has been critical of outsourcing firms for unfairly taking jobs away from American workers.
The US-based firm has over 2.61 lakh employees, with a large number of them based in India. It had hired 4,000 US citizens and residents in 2016.
Cognizant employs about 4,100 in Texas, which is the US headquarters of the company.
The new centre also houses a 10,000 sq ft training facility.
