e-Learning provider Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) has opened a new development centre in Kolkata, India.

According to TIS, the new development centre - which has created over 230 jobs - will play a significant role in developing some of TIS's key projects for its customers.
Sanjaya Sharma, TIS's CEO, said: "TIS now has a global team of 850 multi-disciplinary specialists, with its marketing offices spread across the UK, Europe, the USA, Australia, Japan and Middle East as well as India. It also has a state-of-the-art development centre in Mumbai, India.”

Sharma added: "We chose Kolkata for the new development centre because the city nurtures the broad skill mix required for a flourishing e-learning environment - content developers, instructional designers, graphic designers, software engineers and project managers.

“In addition, the city has a fast-growing, sound infrastructure and is fast becoming known for its efficient servicing of the global IT industry."
