Satyam to beef up auto, aviation services

Coimbatore: While gearing up to commence operations at its campus in Chennai by end September, Satyam Computer Services, according to its Director and Senior Vice-President (Manufacturing and Automotive Business Group), Subu D. Subramanian, is planning to expand into Coimbatore to provide technology service support to the manufacturing sector here.
"In automotive IT services, our revenue during the current years has been close to 12 per cent and the growth in the aerospace service almost doubled. We are looking to provide product engineering services and embedded solutions for the automotive and aviation industry," he told Business Line.
Satyam has tied up with IIT-Madras for setting up an automotive Centre of Excellence. Subramanian hinted at the possibility of initiating something similar here.
"On the avionics side, when we work with aircraft OEMs, we perceive the urgent need for upgrading the avionic systems. The other area where there is a huge global shortage (in the aerospace industry) is the structure. We are looking to partner with universities to develop the requisite skill in this space," Subramanian said.
