PUNE: Offshore services company Cybage Software Pvt. Ltd would be opening a new sales office in San Francisco Bay, Silicon Valley, in the next two months.

This would add to its overseas footprint in New Jersey and Redmond. It also aims at increasing its employee strength to 3000 this year. Its current manpower stands at 2000 with development centers in Pune, Hyderabad and Gandhinagar.

By the mid of next year, it would be consolidating its three centers in Pune at a 4000-seater campus spread over a built-up area of three lakh sq. ft.

While employee muscle is projected to grow in proportion to its revenue clip, new domains like retail, healthcare and finance will add to its OPD basket in the immediate future.

"We would build upon our existing domain expertise and capture a bigger chunk of business on the basis of that strength. New domain areas will spawn organically and the seeds for the same are already there," Arun Nathani, CEO, Cybage, said.

The software solutions company caters to clients like Microsoft, Altiris, Athenahealth, Popkin Software, DoubleClick and DigitalRiver with existing domains like Internet advertising, e-commerce, CRM, travel and hospitality.

For the last few months, the company is also on the prowl of potential acquisition targets in the OPD Offshore Product Development) space.

"We are looking for someone with either a strong specialization area or synergy in customer value. Good companies don't come cheap and bad ones don't deserve money. Nothing has happened so far on that front and we would be stay picky," Nathani clarified.
