order in Uganda and is seeing traction in both Africa and

Middle East for its expertise.

will initiate the process of identifying and shortlisting the

candidates in the first quarter of 2019 itself. We believe

India and this will lead to it being seen as a career option

in itself," Innowave IT Infrastructures managing director

He said, the interesting aspect of e-governance hiring

is that it seeks multiple skills programmers, data entry

operators, statistical analysts, GIS experts, consultants,

supervisory staff among others.

"Indirect or temporary employment creation is another

unique facet of e-governance segment. For every direct

employee hired, we see that many more being needed on job to

job basis. Getting the right talent into Innowave is essential

to its aggressive growth plans both in India and worldwide,"
