EskoArtwork’s fully-owned subsidiary and Global Resource Centre at Bangalore will be headed by Mr. Dinesh Chandra, who has been overseeing Esko’s Indian operations since 2000. According
to Mr.Chandra, “The opening of the Global Resource Centre in Bangalore reinforces EskoArtwork’s global market coverage, complementing the resources we have already deployed in Europe, North America and the Far East.”
The main focus of the newly established Global Resource Centre will be to support sophisticated systems integration projects currently originating mainly in Europe and North America. Mr. Chandra further adds, “Unlike many other companies, EskoArtwork is not moving low-skill jobs to India. On the contrary, we are building a completely new business model around an enhanced service offering. We have chosen to base our new Global Resource Centre in one of the world’s fastest developing pre-production and IT market clusters. EskoArtwork has more and more collaborative software systems integration and workflow management projects in the pipeline and we need access to top talent.” Bangalore, India’s fifth largest city, accounts for a third of the
country’s IT revenue and is recognised as the Indian subcontinent’s “Silicon Valley”. It is home to India’s largest IT giants and is the regional hub for many international hi-tech companies.
EskoArtwork set up base in India in Bangalore 12 years ago and has seen exponential growth in business, particularly since Esko Graphics and Artwork Systems joined forces in August 2007. |
