Dell Inc., the world’s top PC maker, plans to double its headcount in India over three years, its founder said on Monday, but there was no word on the location of a planned manufacturing unit in the country.

“India produces over 200,000 engineers and we see that as an asset for our hardware and software activities,” Chairman Michael Dell told reporters in India’s technology capital, Bangalore.

Dell said its staff numbers in India would rise to 20,000 over the next three years from about 10,000 now. Dell has set up huge business process outsourcing units to tap India’s vast pool of low-cost English-speaking workers, as other multinationals such as General Electric have done.
