Kerala’s biggest IT employer expands Bangalore operations
February 17th, 2012 - 5:31 pm ICT by IANSThiruvananthapuram, Feb 17 (IANS) Kerala’s biggest IT employer UST Global Friday expanded its Bangalore operations which will initially accommodate 600, with the capacity to expand to over 5,000.
Elaborating on UST Global’s expansion plans, its chairman Satendra Gupta said the company’s offshore operations have so far been centred on South India and the Philippines and it now makes sense to build a broader base in the IT capital of India, Bangalore.
“After being the forerunner in creating opportunities and retaining the position of the largest employer in the IT Sector in tier-2 cities of Kerala, we believe our expansion in Bangalore is the next step,” said Gupta.
UST currently employs 9,000 IT professionals, 4,000 of them in Kerala alone.
California-based UST Global is a next-generation IT service and business process outsourcing provider focused on delivering IT and business solutions.
UST Global is also building a new flagship campus here, the first phase of which is expected to be completed soon. Once operational, the three million sq ft campus will be a major hub for offshore IT services.
