Perot Systems may set 3 new centres in India
NEW DELHI: US-based software and BPO company Perot Systems is likely to set up new centres at Hyderabad, Coimbatore and Pune as part of its
expansion plans in India
.
The $2.8 billion firm has recently added a fourth facility in Chennai and plans to add more centres across the country.
"We are examining options of setting up more centres in Hyderabad, Coimbatore and Pune
apart from ramping up our existing centres like that of Noida. This is to cater to the increasing business opportunities that are coming up, especially in the healthcare segment," Perot Systems President (Applications, Insurance and BPO Solutions) Anurag Jain said.
He, however, declined to comment on the investment details.
The company has about 8,000 people in its India operations, which is about 30 per cent of the company`s global headcount.
"We have carefully chosen the markets in which we operate and in each of these industry markets, we have focused on developing platform technologies and intellectual property which have helped us create very unique solutions and capabilities," Jain said.
Jain added that the company is investing in locations across the world such as China, Ireland, Romania and Mexico to increase its global footprint.
The firm is also bullish on acquisitions in the country and globally to build its solution offerings.
"We are a low-debt, cash-rich company and are definitely in the market to acquire companies. This is the right time to do so as market valuations are more appropriate in the current situation," he said, adding that the IT major would look at firms offering solutions for the financial and healthcare services to leverage international growth.
Perot is keen on enhancing its intellectual-property value portfolio instead of just revenue-based acquisitions and is looking at acquisitions of all sizes.
Jain said the company was bullish on expansion and strengthening of product portfolio as about 80 per cent of the business is through long-term contracts.
"About 80 per cent of our contracts are long-term and about 70 per cent of our business from the US, which is the strongest market for us, is from the Federal government through healthcare where the government is focussing. These will help us stabilise even during these tough times," he said.
