Mphasis Opens a Delivery Centre in Alberta With New Investment and Tech Jobs
Alberta’s tech sector continues to rise as India-based Information Technology (IT) solutions provider specializing in cloud and cognitive services, Mphasis, announced the opening of its Canadian delivery centre in Alberta. Located at First Tower in downtown Calgary, the company plans to create 1000 technology jobs over two years in Alberta.
Based in Bangalore, India with a revenue of $1.6 billion in FY 2022 and over 36,000 employees, the company announced in June 2021 its intention to expand operations to Alberta.
With many Indian-based companies capitalizing on the province’s talent pool and business-friendly environment, Alberta is making a name for itself on the global stage as a hub for new and upcoming tech talent.
