The facility in Australia will provide customers with a mix of local and offshore service offerings.

Typically a Wipro site, which leverages its global delivery model, has between 50 and 150 staff, according to the company's global President Suresh Vaswani.

He said investment in Australia will be similar to the Wipro model adopted in Europe and U.S. with a mix of local and offshore solutions.

Wipro first established a presence in Australia in 2001 and Vaswani said the company has spent the last five years establishing credibility in the local market.

Local customers include ANZ Bank and Holden but Wipro plans to take on the likes of Accenture Corp., IBM Corp. and Fujitsu by winning deals in the state government and utilities sectors.
