Tampa’s loss is India’s gain, 500 PwC jobs come to India

In what hails as a bad news for IT employees in the US, PricewaterhouseCoopers is laying off about 500 in-house information technology employees — most from its offices in Tampa.

As per a report in AP, the layoffs will slash the ranks of PWC’s IT support staff by nearly half, from 1,100 to 600. This laying off has been done to have a better coordination of IT services between UK and the US.

Thinking about affected employees, PWC is encouraging them to apply for other open and new positions, and will provide severance packages for those who aren’t rehired.

As per other reports, many of these positions will go overseas and will be taken over by another company in India.

This is the second time PWC has cut jobs in Florida. Earlier this year, the firm cut back its tax practice in Orlando.

While organizations like the OLPC tried to hit the $100 mark for a netbook PC, India has gone a step further and created a $30 tablet PC

.

The device, called Sakshat, was unveiled by India’s Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal. It is expected to become available in India next year targeting students. To begin with it will cost $30 and be manufactured elsewhere, but the aim is to get the price down to $10 and have all manufacturing done in India.

The device itself has a 10″ touchscreen 2GB of RAM, a USB port, and Wi-Fi built-in. It runs a Linux-based OS and bundled software software includes OpenOffice, a PDF reader,web browser , media player, and video conferencing app. Power will partially come from solar panels mounted to the case
