The global IT consulting and services provider has sought 25 acres from the state government. Likely to be commissioned within two years, the ODC would generate employment for over 3,000 professionals in the state over a period of five years.
"We have applied for a 25-acre land in Gandhinagar and are likely to receive an approval from the government soon. Initially, We plan to invest over Rs 60 crore for the project and later raise the corpus according to requirements," said Captain H R Prasad, global head (corporate services) for Satyam Computers Limited.
Apart from providing customised IT solutions, consulting and designing for existing clients from the ODC at Gandhinagar, the company is also looking to expand its clientele.
Through its Satyam development centres in countries like India, US, UK, Canada, Japan and Australia, the company serves over 654 global companies.
