After Pune and Bengaluru, T-Systems, one of the leading European IT service providers, plans to add Nagpur to its list of delivery centres. These centres are aimed at providing intelligent digital solutions and efficient cloud services to T-Systems’ global customers.
The new centre is established in partnership with Tech Mahindra, and will open employment opportunities for 6,000 people across various departments including sales, marketing, technical roles, and others, over the period of 24 months. To meet the needs, Tech Mahindra will enable the building up of a dedicated workforce delivering cutting-edge technological solutions in digital and cloud spaces.
T-Systems attributes Tech Mahindra’s access to market, talent from Tier II cities, and competitive pricing as primary reasons for this partnership.
CP Gurnani, CEO of Tech Mahindra, said that Nagpur can be the next digital hub for leading innovation because of several factors, like ease of doing business, availability of manpower, and accessibility to infrastructure. He also added that its partnership with T-Systems will enable employment opportunities for local talent to work and collaborate with a global team.
The move further supports the notion that post-pandemic, IT companies are not just restricting themselves to Tier-I cities anymore, but are expanding their presence and workforce to Tier-II and Tier-III cities. With growing attrition, IT companies are looking to harness the entry-level talent pool available in smaller cities.
