Noida - Expands and fortifies its presence in Europe
Continuing with its rapid expansion plans, Birlasoft (India) Ltd has set up its office in Prague, Czech Republic.
“The new office at Prague has been set up to be in proximity to our customers and provide better service. It is this customer-centric approach which has prompted us to open new offices and facilities in distant parts of the world. More Birlasoft offices will be set up globally in the near future,” said Mr Kamal Mansharamani, CEO, Birlasoft.
While Birlasoft already has some key clients in Prague, the new setup will also help the $ 1.2 billion C K Birla Group company to explore new opportunities in the upcoming information technology market in Eastern Europe.
Recently listed by Nasscom among the top 20 software exporters from India, Birlasoft already has a strong presence in Europe. It has been running successful operations in the United Kingdom for a long time and has recently set up offices in Amsterdam and Frankfurt to tap business in the Benelux region and Germany respectively.
Enlarging the footprint of its global delivery system, Birlasoft is also exploring avenues in South-east Asia and the Far East. New offices and partnerships in the region are in the pipeline.
Bolstering its capacity in India, 4200-strong Birlasoft is setting up a 2000-seat facility in NOIDA. The first phase with 1200 seats is expected to be functional in the next two months. Birlasoft is already running development centers in NOIDA (3), Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, US, UK, Singapore and Australia. The company’s headcount has more than doubled to 4200 in the last two years. It is expected to cross the 6000 mark by 2008. |
