Tech Mahindra has expanded its presence in Turkey by setting up a new branch in Istanbul. Tech Mahindra Turkey will serve as a hub for Turkey and Central Asia.
The move was necessitated after Tech Mahindra won a contract for implementing a billing solution for a large telecom operator.
“We look forward to the support from local Government as we grow our footprint in the region. As a part of our journey in Turkey, we aim to recruit local resources and train them to support Tech Mahindra services over the years to come,” said Girish Bhat, Vice-President, Sales, Tech Mahindra.
Going forward, Tech Mahindra expects Turkey to emerge as a near shore delivery location for clients in the region.
The investment by Tech Mahindra has been facilitated by the Turkish Government which intends to expand the country’s information communication and technology sector to $160 billion by 2023 from $30 billion in 2011.
A dedicated Talent Exchange Program for transfer of skills between India and Turkey will also be initiated in due course of time, M. İlker Aycı, President of Turkey’s Investment Support and Promotion Agency, said.
