By MYBRANDBOOK
Salesforce plans to add 5.48 lakh direct jobs in India in near future and sees the country has potential to become the second largest in terms of GDP, a top official of the company said on Friday. While speaking at the Raise summit, Salesforce chief data evangelist Vala Afshar said that indirectly the company will create 13 lakh jobs in India.
Afshar said, "I think the impact of my company in India alone is going to create billions of dollars in incremental GDP. We are going to create 1.3 million new jobs indirectly with our customer and partner ecosystem but directly we are going to add 548,000 new jobs in the near future.”
Salesforce is estimated to have market capitalisation of around USD 240 billion. Afshar said at the summit, "In the next couple of years we are committed to training 250,000 students. Education is key to reducing the digital divide." More than 79,000 stakeholders from academia, the research industry and government representatives from 147 countries participated in the summit that was held during October 5-9, according to the Ministry of Electronics and Information technology. Afshar said that India will soon be the world's most advanced connected society.
He said that data is going to be key to the artificial intelligence economy which is the reason that India is poised to be a super power when it comes to AI. He said India has 60 crore unique users connected to the internet and has an opportunity in the next 5-6 years in the world to be USD 6 trillion consumer spend power in India. "Every 3 seconds a new person in India connects to the internet for the first time.
