dictionary with lists as values

[rhitam30111985]

ok.. here is the problem: consider the following dictionary..
it has a country name as a key and list of offices as values:

offices={'USA':['google','microsoft','apple','infosys'],
       'ireland':['apple','accenture','dupont'],
       'india':['infosys','accenture','TCS','dupont']
}
 

now supposed i enter the name of an office as an input form the user.. for example infosys... then i should get india and USA as my output...
how do i go about it?

thanks in advance
