To scale up recruitment by 25 %
Chennai - 2nd March 2010.

The Chennai based Bahwan CyberTek (BCT), a leading IT Product and Services organization, announced today that it would cross the Rs. 475 Crore mark turnover, by the end of this financial year (2009 - 2010). This growth is a reflection of BCT’s ability to orchestrate and deliver a coherent value proposition to its customers. This achievement is especially noteworthy, in a year of global financial turmoil in fiscal 2009. The most significant development was that of Prof Mohanbir Sawhney coming on board of Bahwan CyberTek. This year also saw BCT move into it’s own premises in Chennai, with a Center of Excellence spread across 180,000 sq.ft area, the total investment being USD 9 million.

Addressing the media, Mr S. Durgaprasad, CEO, Bahwan CyberTek said ‘We are very pleased with our performance over the last few years. We have seen good YOY growth, and with a lot of promising deals in the pipeline and we are confident of crossing the Rs. 600 crore mark by the end of the next financial year (2010 - 2011). Bahwan CyberTek has been growing more than the industry average and this gives us tremendous confidence of achieving even greater heights in the years to come. Another noteworthy development was the signing of pact with IIM Bangalore to provide management courses in Oman. Our focus in India includes BCT’s products, Govt, BFSI, Energy and Utilities Industry verticals in addition to Enterprise application implementations for Manufacturing, Distribution and Retail segments.’

Bahwan CyberTek during the last couple of months has got excellent repeat orders from its customers like the extension it has received for 2 years in the execution of 4PL engagement in Oil & Gas sector for Petroleum Development Oman (USD 500 Million Dollar Contract). With this significant step, BCT has become a leader in the 4PL arena. BCT has widened its customer base by winning some important customers such as Dubai Municipality through its flagship Cuecent e-pay product, Union Cement Company and BHEL, to name a few.

“Within 10 yrs of operations, BCT has matured from people to project to product development and is one among the very few companies having its own standards based BPM platform with a repository of niche solutions built on it through its Cuecent suite for various Industry verticals. The company has gained leadership positions in the payment gateway space through its innovation” said Mr. R.K. Shyam Sundar Executive Vice President-Global Centre of Excellence.

According to Mr VM Muralidharan, Chief Operating Officer, “Over the last decade BCT has serviced many global clients, in the various industry verticals such as Government, BFSI, Energy and Utilities, with our Cuecent range of products & services.  We have now decided to emulate this success in the Indian operations. We expect India’s share to be around 10-15% of BCT’s total business in the next three years.”
