TCS plans expansion of Coimbatore centre

India’s largest software exporter Tata Consultancy Services is planning to set up a new delivery centre in Mexico, with capacity for about 500 professionals. “We have an office in Mexico but not a delivery base. The new delivery centre is expected to be operational by 2007 end, and will largely focus on IT services with some BPO capabilities,” TCS CEO and managing director S Ramadorai told ET.

Earlier this month, Satyam Computer Services had also said that it was exploring the possibility of setting-up delivery centre in Mexico with a capacity for 50-100 professionals, with a view to serve the US market.

“Latin America as a market is very exciting for us. Whether it is Argentina, Brazil or Chile or Mexico, it enables us to address local markets and also the US market. It also addresses Portugal and Spain due to the language capabilities,” Mr Ramadorai said.
At present, TCS has 71 delivery centres across 14 countries. Outside India, its main delivery locations are Brazil, Uruguay and Chile. Brazil, Uruguay and Chile together house 4,000 professionals. The company also has delivery units in Hungary and China, and smaller facilities in Australia and Japan.

During the last quarter (October-December 2006), TCS had reported a 30% increase in revenues from global delivery centres (GDC). With this, the non-India GDCs account for 4.1% of the company’s overall revenues.

Mr Ramadorai said going forward, TCS would also scale up its operations in Hungary and China. The company has 800 professionals in China.
Last week, TCS also announced the launch of its joint venture in China, christened Tata Consultancy Services (China), to provide IT services and solutions to China's domestic market as well as other markets particularly Japan.

In India, TCS has 41 delivery centres spread across Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata and smaller centres in Cochin, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, and Coimbatore.
“We are also in the process of expanding the delivery base in Cochin, Bhubaneshwar, Coimbatore, Gandhinagar, and will set-up a facility in Chandigarh. Besides this, we are also considering setting up a facility in Mysore,” Mr Ramadorai said.
