New Delhi - Global business consultancy Deloitte plans to hire 15,000 people in India over the next two to three years, the company's top official said Tuesday. 'We are very upbeat about the Indian economy and have major expansion plans in India,' Deloitte's global chief executive Jim Quigley was quoted as saying by IANS news agency. 'At present, we are employing about 11,000 people in India. To increase our business, we are planning increase it by 15,000 people over the next two to three years,' Quigley said at a press briefing in the Indian capital. Quigley, who is in Delhi to attend the World Economic Forum's India summit, said the global economic crisis was also an opportunity to expand and acquire assets at attractive valuations. 'We believe that India and China will be leading the global economic recovery. Europe will very slow to recover. So it makes sense to invest here,' Quigley said. 'Even during the time of economic slowdown we saw a growth of 30 per cent in India. We are going for active acquisition and expansion plans here.'
