Shirajiv Sirimane
Aeturnum Lanka will invest over US$ one million next year for their
future expansion programme in Sri Lanka.
US based Chief Executive Officer, Aeturnum, Rajat Bhakhri said they
are happy with the first year activities in Sri Lanka.
“In fact it’s far better than our operations in Bangalore and we will
now be shifting more operations to Sri Lanka from the Indian State,” he
said. Speaking at the first anniversary celebrations at the Cinnamon
Grand Hotel last morning he said they have nearly 50 employees and with
additional business they would be increasing their employees to 150.
He said the high literacy rate and the dedicated workforce are some
of the key attractions in Sri Lanka.

Aeturnum Inc, headquartered in Westford, MA has been providing
software development and IT consulting services to North America since
2001 and initiated operations in Sri Lanka in November 2006 as part of
its global expansion initiative.
Since then Aeturnum Lanka (Pvt) Ltd functions as a subsidiary of
Aeturnum Inc and is engaged in providing a variety of software services.
By leveraging the ethos of hard work, technical curiosity and a
passion for success of the Sri Lankan and American software industry
professionals; Aeturnum has grown at a much faster pace than would be
possible by limiting operations to either one of the shores. Over the
past year, US operational revenue has grown by over 115 per cent.
He said they also envisage more business from USA to Sri Lanka
especially for the BPO sector. “Some USA customers have raised security
concerns on Sri Lanka and we have managed to successfully convince
them,” he said. |
