Mahindra Satyam has announced that Saab AB, further to its intent expressed at Aero India February 2011, has entered into an agreement to establish Saab India Technology Centre (SITC). This decision strengthens the already strategic relationship between Saab and the Mahindra Group.
The aim is to increase development in India in terms of identified concrete programs and technologies to SITC. The centre will provide a secure platform to facilitate development of Aerospace & Defence projects in India, supporting the establishment Saab is pursuing. India presents a huge opportunity for Saab across their business areas Aeronautics, Dynamics, Electronic Defense Systems and Security and Defence Solutions.
This 300-seater dedicated centre would be established at one of the Mahindra sites and will be an extended arm of Saab working on New Product Development and Product Sustenance Engineering. While supporting the internal operational excellence and optimization initiatives within Saab, this centre will also support offset obligations for all Saab products and services in India.
Engineering services is a one of the key focus and growth areas within Mahindra Satyam, which currently runs some of the largest dedicated R&D centres for global majors across industry segments, including Aerospace. Mahindra Satyam has the right operational expertise and technical maturity to ensure this centre delivers the set organizational targets.
