This will be the company’s 5th delivery centre in the country and the third in southern India after Chennai & Bangalore. The Puducherry centre will have a seating capacity of 700 people and will primarily deliver the Online, Publishing, and Retail Solutions (OPRS) of the company.

“Datamatics started its journey in southern India at Chennai in 2003 with a 30 member delivery centre and today, close to 400 professionals deliver OPMS solutions from this centre. The highly talented and motivated professionals in Chennai have not only led to the success of our OPRS business but also convinced us to extend our footprint in southern India,” said Rahul Kanodia, Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Datamatics Global Services Limited. He further added, “Today, more than 50% of software professionals come from tier 2 and tier 3 cities but have to migrate to metros for want of better job opportunities. I am certain that our Puducherry centre will offer aspirants from this region a healthy work life balance.”
Commenting on the occasion Krishna Tewari, Executive Vice President & Global Head - OPRS at Datamatics Global Services said, “We work with global leaders in the publishing industry, hence it is natural for us to expand our operations in this region which fosters ambitious young minds in the online and media space.” He further added, “We are quite certain that young talented professionals from this region trained by Datamatics will deliver best-in-class solutions to our global clientele.”
