“We are currently at a run rate (projected annual results based on the present revenues) of ₹330 crore. We are going to significantly expand our facilities in Hyderabad and Gurgaon. We will have 300 people there in three years,” Niranjan Chintam, President of Kellton Tech, said.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said the IT services firm would go for a qualified institutional placement to raise about ₹120 crore. “We will complete the process this financial year,” he said. The promoter group owns 64 per cent.

The company is in the process of acquiring a couple of firms in the SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud) and Internet of Thing areas. “We are doing due diligence. We can’t say whether it will be one or two acquisitions,” Krishna Chintam, Managing Director, said.
