Dell International Services, the support arm of Dell, will increase the headcount at its Gurgaon customer care center to 2,500 from 800 currently in the next 12-14 months.
The Gurgaon centre is Dell's fourth contact centre in India and has been operational since June.
"We will increase the number of our employees in our Gurgaon centre to 2,500 in next 12-14 months from 800 now and soon move to our new facility (in Gurgaon) which is under construction currently," company's Managing Director Romi Malhotra told reporters in New Delhi.

In the first phase, the new facility would cover an area of 300,000 sq ft, he said, adding that the area as well as the number of employees will grow depending upon the demand and requirements.
"The facility in future will have a capacity of about 5,000 people," Malhotra added.
