BANGALORE: Wipro Infotech will be setting up its shop in the Land of Pyramids -- Egypt. The company on Wednesday signed a MoU with Egypt’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to set up a global development centre in Cairo’s Smart Village.
The capacity of the new centre is for 200 people and can be expanded to cater to 300 people.
The centre is expected to start operations in about a month’s time. Wipro will provide software development, integration and consulting services from this centre, targeting IT export services for the Middle East and global markets.
Wipro head Middle East and Asia Pacific regions Rajat Mathur said, “Wipro has always been focused on Middle East as a region and localisation in this region is one of the key strategies for growth this year. This development centre besides strengthening Wipro’s dominance in the region would also give a thrust to Wipro’s Global Delivery Model.”
Egyptian minister of communications and information technology Tarek Kamal said, “Wipro’s setting up of a global development centre will give a further impetus to Egypt as an IT export destination.’’ Wipro started its operations in Middle East in 2001.
Currently, it has a strong customer base across the Middle East with operations spread across Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Some of Wipro’s customers in the region include Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority, Metal, Dubai eGovernment, Qatar Petroleum, Bahraini Saudi Bank, Future Communications Company, Kuwait, Doha Bank, PetroRabigh, SASREF and Saudi Polyolefins Company.
