Saab ropes in Mahindra Satyam for its India technology centre
22 Jun 2011
Swedish aerospace and defence major Saab AB has entered into an agreement with consulting and IT services provider Mahindra Satyam to establish Saab India Technology Center (SITC).
The decision strengthens an already existing strategic relationship between Saab and the Mahindra Group, Mahindra Satyam said in a release today.
The centre will identify concrete programmes and technologies for Saab to increase its India operations and provide a secure platform to facilitate development of aerospace and defence projects in India.
"India presents a huge opportunity for Saab across their business areas aeronautics, dynamics, electronic defence systems and security and defence solutions."
This 300-seater dedicated centre, to be set up at one of the Mahindra sites, will be an extended arm of Saab working on new product development and product sustenance engineering.
The centre will support the internal operational excellence and optimisation initiatives within Saab. It would also support offset obligations for all Saab products and services in India.
