United States-based information technology company UST on September 30 said its  upcoming Kochi campus will help create more than 3,000 jobs in the next five years.

The company currently employs more than 2,800 people at its existing facility in Kochi.

The foundation stone for UST’s new Kochi campus, which will be built on a sprawling nine-acre land at Infopark Kochi Phase 2, was laid, by Krishna Sudheendra, Chief Executive Officer, UST, the company said in a release.

The 10-storeyed and 4,400-seater campus in Kochi will be completed in three years. It will be UST's second-owned campus in India after Thiruvananthapuram.
