ManpowerGlobal Plans to Increase India Headcount By 15-20 Percent

The proposed increase in headcount would encompass all ManpowerGroup companies in India, which includes Manpower, Experis and Right Management.

ManpowerGroup India, Group Managing Director, A G Rao said "India business has done very well despite the economic challenges faced by the country."
