Michael Dell personally opened a campus for his eponymous computer company in Mohali, a suburb of Chandigarh, today. The campus will house both sales and support:

The company employs more than 7,000 people in India, its largest work force outside the United States…. “Certainly the scale of India is pretty awe-inspiring,” [said Michael Dell]. Dell has one call center in the southern city of Hyderabad and another in India’s technology capital, Bangalore… [News.com]

Dell Inc., which had revenues of over $45 billion last year, would be the first major company to set up its centre in the Quark City complex being built here… by [a] software giant - Quark. Many other leading IT and software companies from India and abroad are expected to locate at the Quark City complex that is being planned with office spaces, residential areas, complete underground parking, 100 percent power backup and a lively entertainment area with shopping malls and multiplexes.

We welcome Dell to the land of sardars in shades on scooters with sidesaddle Sikhnis, wax-tipped moustaches and mooli parantha. And we offer this unsolicited advice: the 12-step program for keeping your Punjabi workers happy is, the dhaba should be no more than 12 steps away.
