"Microsoft, which has a headcount of 5,300 people in the country, had hired "a few hundreds" last year. Most of the top domestic and transnational companies go for campus placements from the engineering and management schools around October-December. Venkatesan said "(Steve) Barmer (global CEO) has gone on record saying this is a period of consolidation," rather than adding to the headcount. The $58-billion global software leader has six business units in India, which include research centre, development centres and sales and marketing divisions. The company, which boasts of running most of the personal computers worldwide on its operating system, has three centres in Hyderabad. The other units are in Bangaluru and Gurgaon. Asked about the response to the Microsoft"s latest version of the operating system Windows 7, Venkatesan said "we are seeing very good early response".
