This is the home of one of India's biggest IT companies, Wipro, at the Electronics City high-tech business park in Bangalore, India.

silicon.com visited Bangalore last month and got a tour of the sprawling campus, which is home to around 15,500 of the company's 88,000 employees, who work in shifts around the clock supporting Wipro's offshore customers.

The company hired 15,000 engineering graduates in the last year alone and the starting salary for those recruits is around $750 per month.

Wipro has almost run out of land to expand on here and the company will look to Chennai for its next phase of domestic expansion.
