BNA Technology to ramp up operations, invest Rs 50 cr

Bangalore, Aug 3 (UNI) BNA Technology Consulting, the technology solutions provider for enterprises, is looking forward to a steep growth trajectory with an investment of Rs 50 crore to make the company a Rs 430 crore entity by 2011.

Company Managing Director V Ranganathan told newspersons here today that with the present turnover of Rs 38 crore, the company was significantly reshuffling its businesses and adding new initiatives to take the country forward.

The investment through internal accruals and external funding would be made on facilities, including a 500-seater Busines Process Servicing. By 2008, the company planned to have a 1000-seater facility spread across four cities. The BPS would be based on its instant engagement tool LivServ that allowed visitors to any website be detected and engaged live automatically.

Mr Ranganathan said the company was in the final stages of negotiation with a global IT hardware leader to enter the lucrative data centre solutions segment and move up the value chain through a new network design consulting service. This would be primarily targeted at very large enterprises. The company was also planning a slew of partnerships with leading system integrators in select verticals to focus across India to scale revenues quickly, he added.

He said the company also planned to start a new initiative to spread IT culture among small and medium enterprises and trade in tier-III cities through its retailing venture bnaITmart.com. The LivServ enabled e-store would allow customers anywhere to buy branded IT/networking products and accessories at extremely competitive prices. The installation would be carried out by BNA franchised assemblers in these cities. Initially, the strategy would be rolled out in the Southern States.
