What are the future growth plans of the company? How do you plan to expand DesignTech Systems in the International market?

We expect to cross revenues of Rs. 100 Crores by March 2013 and expect to grow by 100% in the subsequent three years. To achieve this goal, DesignTech Systems is looking at multiple strategies to improve our offerings and expand in local and global markets.

This cements our association with our existing client base and leverages business across functions and helps us get engaged in high value assignments with our clients.
What are the key factors contributing to the growth of the Data Management Software market in India? How do you anticipate its growth prospects in India?

Traditional Product Data Management requirements are now increasingly shifting to “Product Life Cycle Management” (PLM) both in India and abroad. The usage of PLM is growing. This provides a big opportunity to companies like DesignTech Systems to offer PLM implementation services to mid end industries who are looking for cost effective solutions. Outsourcing of product design and engineering services creates large amount of data and security and management of such data calls for use of PLM. In addition the outsourcing companies from abroad insist on using the same PLM solutions as used by them by their vendors also. This provides a big business opportunity to service providers.
