The Hindu Business Line : Satyam opens development centre in Sydney

Hyderabad April 26 IT services provider Satyam Computer Services on Thursday announced the opening of a 150-seat development centre in North Sydney whose mandate is to serve as a regional solutions hub to address the Asia Pacific region.

The company plans to step up its headcount in Australia to about 700 people.

Satyam has increased its presence in Australia since 2001 with 10 people and now hosts development centres in Melbourne and at York Street in the Sydney Central Business District and sales offices in Canberra and Brisbane. These centres complement its Virtual Global Delivery Model.

The new centre was commissioned in the presence of Mr P.P. Shukla, High Commissioner of India, and Mr B. Ramalinga Raju, Satyam's co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.

In a statement, Mr Ramalinga Raju said: "Australia is an important marketplace for Satyam and will provide customers throughout the region with the improved agility and responsiveness they need to excel in a competitive business environment."

Satyam signed an agreement with the Australian Computer Society earlier this week in scouting for local talent. Satyam plans to hire 50 graduates within three months and 50 more next year.
