Patni to set up Rs 150cr centre in Technopark

Patni Computer Systems (PCS) is planning to set up a Rs 150-crore software development centre in Thiruvananthapuram, which will have the facility to house 3,000 professionals.

The company is expected to kick-start operations in a year's time at Technopark, Kerala's first information technology park. Patni Computer is also looking for land near Technopark for its own campus.

"The company is in discussions with the state government and Technopark officials to build an independent campus here," an industry source said.

As part of its third phase of expansion, the state government is ramping up Technopark by adding 100 acres. Technopark is fully occupied with major IT companies moving in.

Headquartered in Mumbai, Patni has a global footprint supported by multiple development centres across the key locations in India and sales offices in North America, Europe and UK, and the Asia-Pacific region.

PCS has long-standing and vibrant partnerships with over 180 companies across the globe. Over 11,000 professionals extend services to clients across diverse industries.
