Indian tech giant comes to Redmond, hiring hundreds

One of India’s largest tech companies is setting up a major facility next to Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, where it plans to hire hundreds of engineers over the next two years.

HCL Technologies http://www.hcltech.com/ is investing $4 million in its Redmond "Global Delivery Center," where it’s going to develop and test software for customers including Microsoft and Boeing.

The company pledged to create 400 jobs over two years. It already has 40 employees, so it will be adding at least 360 engineers and business managers. Its offices are on Northeast 31st Street, near the Azteca restaurant alongside Highway 520.

Washington state is embracing the company and pledged $200,000 to help train employees for jobs at HCL. Gov. Chris Gregoire was scheduled to attend an opening ceremony today, but was diverted by the Tacoma teacher strike.

In a prepared statement, Gregoire praised the company.
