"The company has a large IT set-up in Malaysia, US and UK and will be moving all its global IT jobs to Bengaluru," said two people with direct knowledge of the development.



In an email response Shell confirmed the development and said, "We believe that India's significant IT talent will improve our ability to provide top-quality IT project delivery and selected operations support around the world," the company said.



It further added, "We anticipate no direct impact to Shell staff in 2015 as a result of this proposed change. Beyond then, given our strategic intent, it is expected that some impact on staff is likely as a result of this activity. We do not yet know the extent of this impact." Shell has signed a 3, 50,000 sq. ft. space in RMZ Eco World in the first phase and is expected to occupy it by April 2016. Eventually, the company plans take up 8, 00,000 sq. ft by 2018 to provide IT support to all its business verticals.
