“We are very pleased to establish this Regional Solutions Hub in Sydney, which will bolster our efforts to create development centers focused on data warehousing, enterprise applications and managed services,” said Deepak Nangia, country manager, Australia and New Zealand.

PP Shukla, high commissioner of India and Raju officially inaugurated the center.

Satyam also signed an agreement with the Australian Computer Society (ACS) earlier in the week to recruit information technology professionals from Australian universities.

Satyam plans to hire 50 graduates over the next three months and another 50 in the following year. With the additions Satyam’s Australian workforce will increase to 700.

Satyam began its operations in Australia in 2001 starting with 10 associates. Currently it has presence in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and Brisbane.
