Tech Mahindra expands footprint in Ireland
Tech Mahindra today opened a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Dublin. The Centre, to be operational in the first quarter of calendar year 2017 will be central to Tech Mahindra’s operations in the country and would focus on emerging technologies such as Robotics and Automation, Business Analytics, Cloud Infrastructure and Digital Services. The new centre would employ around 150 engineers over the next three years.
Tech Mahindra, one of the top five Indian IT services companies, has been serving Irish Customers since its inception, across segments such as Telecom, Energy & Utilities, BFSI and Pharmaceutical. Today, over 700 full time employees work for its Irish customers of which over 320 are located in Ireland alone specialising in domains such as IT, networks, consulting and customer care.
“This investment is a testimony of our long-term business commitment in the country and our mission to promote and support local talent leveraging Ireland’s rich skills in science and technology,” said C P Gurnani, CEO & MD of Tech Mahindra at the official launch of the Centre.
“The opening of the Centre of Excellence at Dublin will not only enable us to better serve customers in Ireland and beyond, it also builds on the strong partnerships we have already established in the region by working with local organizations, academic institutions and the government.”
As a part of a new investment in Ireland, the Dublin CoE will bolster Tech Mahindra’s regional footprint in the country and help the company deliver technology services to clients in Ireland as well as Europe.
Welcoming the investment by Tech Mahindra, Mary Mitchell O’Connor TD, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation in the Government of Ireland, said, “I am delighted to be here today for the launch of the company’s new Centre of Excellence in Citywest. We already have a strong footprint of ICT companies in the Greater Dublin area and we are very keen to expand that by attracting a wider range of specialist IT companies. Tech Mahindra’s decision to locate its European Centre of Excellence in Ireland, to develop new technologies here and to create 150 high quality jobs, is very good news indeed. We have the IT skills available to enable the company to grow and to embed their operations in Ireland, and their arrival is a great vote of confidence in what we have to offer.”
