The company will be coming out with new service offerings focused on leveraging DevOps and Business Process Management (BPM), he said. However, Ness’ primary focus will be on digital platform engineering.

Bandyopadhyay said the company expects significant growth in the financial services and retail segment, with special emphasis on education and publishing.
