M. M. Pallam Raju, Honorable Minister of State for Defense for the Government of India said, "We are pleased that IT companies such as Avineon are choosing Kakinada and other tier-two cities to expand operations in India. Kakinada provides ready access to the city's state-of-the-art technical infrastructure and the elite technology workforce of emerging talent from nearby universities."
Avineon has chosen Kakinada as the first city to join its existing AIPL offices in Hyderabad, India, and plans to open an office in Vizag, India, within the next year. Expansion in India will enhance Avineon's production capabilities for its IT and geospatial and engineering services and support the company's sustained yearly growth of 30 percent during the past six years. The Kakinada office will be directed by Subbarao Rambhala, executive vice president, Avineon India, and house as many as 120 employees by year's end.
"Expanding our presence in India reinforces our global development team's ability to provide industry-leading development and support operations for Avineon's global customer base," said Karlu Rambhala, president and CEO of Avineon. "Our Indian locations are direct suppliers of programming and development services to Avineon, which provides a significant advantage over other companies that outsource functions to providers outside of their organization."
With global headquarters in Alexandria, Va., Avineon maintains project management and quality control functions in the United States with production work on commercial projects performed in India. AIPL can provide 24-hour operations to ensure around-the-clock coverage and accommodate for difference in time between India and the United States. Project managers based in the United States, Europe and India maintain close communications among the locations, allowing Avineon to respond quickly to customer requirements and deliver superior results. As part of global growth initiatives, Avineon is also considering expansion into Australia and New Zealand.
