Quote: BHUBANESWAR: Leading global audit, consulting and financial advisory firm Deloitte is likely to operationalise its Bhubaneswar technology development centre in November. Official sources said the consulting major will function from the iconic BMC Tower along Janpath. The company has rented a whopping 40,000 sq ft area in the tower to start its operation. This apart, multinational technology and innovation company IBM and some other global IT firms have also shown interest to open centres in Odisha as part of their business expansion plan. ...

Although there is no official word from Deloitte on recruitment, it is expected that the company will initially recruit more than 1,000 people in various positions, including auditing, assurance, consultancy, knowledge and other professional services. 

... In August, 5T Secretary VK Pandian and IT Secretary Manoj Mishra had visited the BMC Tower for timely completion of the work required to have new development centres of Deloitte and IBM.
