Srinivasa Rao Dasari / Hyderabad

Kenexa Technologies, a human capital management solutions company, is expanding its India centre at an investment of about $6 million over the next three years spending $2 million per year. So far, the company has invested about $6 million on this centre. The Hyderabad centre is a product development-cum-support facility and the company has decided to leverage the facility to handle work in the Asia-Pacific and the West Asian region. “We have already moved a considerable part of our operations to the Hyderabad-based development centre. Integrating product development work with our US operations has enabled Kenexa to further expand the centre here. The headcount would touch 250 from 125 by 2005. At present, 50 professionals are working on product development,” Nooruddin (Rudy) Karsan, the founder and CEO of Kenexa, told Express Computer. With the expansion plan in place, the company anticipates a five-fold jump in its turnover to Rs 10 crore in a year’s time.
