Red Hat To Make India A Primary Business Base

NEW DELHI, INDIA, 2001 SEP 7 (NB) -- By Staff, Computer Times. Linux operating system software developer Red Hat will locate most of its software development and support operations to India, excluding its US facilities, the company said.

Red Hat is planning to set up a development and support center in the country by mid-2002 to relocate and consolidate some of its current operations in Philippines, the U.K., Australia and Japan.

Javed Tapia, director of Red Hat India, said the company would like to set up a global support center in India because of the low cost of doing business and the pool of available of technical skills in the country.

"Indian operations will be, any time, cheaper than similar operations in other countries," Tapia said.

The company initially would start the center with around 60 engineers and would scale up its operations over a time, Tapia said.

Red Hat has tied up with Software Technology Group (STG) for Linux training and certification courses all over India. STG initially will offer three 32-hour Linux courses in its 125 training centers. "These courses would help software professionals and students in enhancing their skills in Linux to increase their job prospects," Tapia said.

Red Hat India is a joint venture between Red Hat Inc, and Pune-based Clover Technologies. The Indian company was set up in January this year.

Red Hat India also is responsible for promoting business operations in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Apart from Red Hat Linux operating system, the company also offers Web server and credit card verification software in India.
