CIBER India Starts New SEZ in Bangalore.

Bangalore: As part of the expansion plans, information technology (IT) consulting, services and outsourcing firm CIBER Inc announced the opening of its new Special Economic Zone (SEZ) global delivery centre in Bangalore with a seating capacity of 750.

CIBER India head Vir Bhanu said that the expansion was intended to significantly grow the company both in terms of global delivery support and providing IT services to businesses in India.

The company’s India operations are a direct extension of CIBER’s US and European delivery centres. “Initially, the centre in India was established with a vision to augment CIBER’s IT and IT outsourcing services,” said Vir Bhanu, head of CIBER India.

Starting with a modest 100 employees six years ago, CIBER India has increased its headcount to 1,300 in the country.

Headquartered in Colorado (USA), in India CIBER already operates from two such centres in Bangalore and Chennai.

Speaking about the expansion, Dave Peterschmidt, chief executive officer, CIBER, said, “We are strategically expanding our facility in India, particularly Bangalore, as the talent pool is very large here. We will also continue to ramp up operations at the Chennai centre.”
