In September 2017, the IT and ITeS firm had acquired Ciber Inc, a US-based global information technology consulting services and outsourcing company, for about $93 million. According to a statement issued by HTC Global, the acquisition of Ciber would add over 3,500 employees to its operations globally. HTC Global has delivery centres across multiple time zones in North America, India and Malaysia. The firms operation in India is spread across Chennai and Hyderabad. In 2014, HTC Global acquired CareTech Solutions to expand its footprint in the healthcare industry. Madhava Reddy, CEO, HTC Global, said the latest acquisition will boost the organisations ability to deliver exceptional customer service and gain deep expertise in cutting edge technologies. “With the acquisition of CareTech and Ciber we are confident of achieving our vision of $ 1 billion (revenue) by 2020. We will be recruiting another 5,000 employees by the year 2020,” Reddy said. The combined strength of both the companies will help HTC Global to offer customers a comprehensive set of services and fulfil an integral part of material growth across a range of industry sectors, the statement said. This buyout will also help HTC Global in expanding its footprint in other parts of the US. The addition of Cibers workforce will propel the company?s growth into the marketplace, it added. — With inputs from PTI
