Infogain, a company specialising in enterprise-wide applications, has decided to spruce up its India operations, in the coming year. The company has invested $5 million to develop its offshore capabilities and plans to increase its employee count by 350. This initiative comes in wake of the fact that US and UK-based customers prefer dealing with vendors who can provide offshore IT services as well as outsourcing options.

Currently 15 percent of the company’s revenue is delivered from its Indian development centre and the company predicts that with its latest initiative this figure could increase to 50 percent.

“We have had a development centre in India since 1996. Off late, it has emerged as a major opportunity area and we plan to enhance its infrastructure to position it as a player providing bundled services and as a one-stop solution centre to our international clients,” said Abhay Sinha managing director, India Development Centre, InfoGain.

As an extension of providing IT services offshore, the company also plans to foray into the BPO segment so that they are able to provide an opportunity for their clients to synergise the two businesses. The company is looking to enhance its presence in the BPO space because expanding relationships with existing software services vendors results in savings in cost and management time for the customer.
