Mukesh Ambani's Reliance has added 1500 engineers to its payroll.
"The average age is 39 years, which for an organisation of RIL's size and age clearly reflects a bias towards the youth. The company increased its talent pool by hiring 1,500 plus engineering talent in FY 2008-09," the company said.
While the company has not disclosed the consolidated headcount, or that including subsidiaries, for 2008-09, in its annual report for 2007-08, RIL had put this figure at over 48,000 individuals, including subsidiaries.
That included more than 200 doctorates, over 10,000 employees, 3,000 plus management graduates, 1000 plus accountants and over 1,000 other professionals.
The company's employee cost rose to Rs 2,398 crore in 2008-09 from Rs 2,119 crore in the previous fiscal.
