The lab will enable customers get a snapshot of what their future business environment will look like, according to Mr G.B. Prabhat, Director (Consulting and Enterprise Solutions). Mr Joe Drouin, Vice-President and CIO, TRW Automotive Holdings, one of the largest clients of the Hyderabad-based IT company, inaugurated the lab. Around 70 employees were currently working in the lab and this number would increase to around 300 in the near future, Mr Prabhat told newspersons. He refused to give the investment made on the lab located at Tidel Park. The lab helps clients with potential information to strategise and reduce risks on business and technology-related decisions and investments.

Satyam's technology partners such as Adobe Systems, Cast Iron Systems, G-LOG, and Pegasystems have confirmed their interest in participating in Futurus, which has been doing pilot projects in the last three months.
