Business conglomerate Tatas' British connection is set to get even stronger with the group expecting a significant surge in its employee strength in the United Kingdom as it expands operations and buys more firms.
With about 30,000 Tata employees, the European nation is home to the largest workforce of any Indian business house. This represents a little less than 10 per cent of Tata group's entire headcount of about 3,30,000 people across the world.
"Initially when we started business here 100 years ago in 1907, it was some sort of window office to the world business of the group... we were taking care of issues like procurement and logistics... today we are a 14-company strong group here with 30,000 employees," S A Hasan, Managing Director of group's UK subsidiary Tata Ltd, said here.
"We feel proud to say that we are the largest Indian employer in the UK," he said
