Velocity connects our hubs and clients

Post recession, what are the trends in the OPD industry

in India?



Post recession, we are witnessing growth in the OPD space. India is

considered as a strong player in the OPD space. Key drivers being our strong

product engineering alignment, domain focus and enablement of best practices to

derive more value for the customers. Today, we are witnessing more ownership of

legacy products out of India, sustenance of mature products and demand for

professional services and product support.

Talent pool is one aspect which GlobalLogic heavily

focuses on. What are the recruitment plans of the company in 2010?



For software services companies focusing in the OPD space, it is all the

more important in recruiting the right talent pool. In GlobalLogic, we not only

focus on bringing aboard resources with the right technology/domain skills, but

also ensure that there is a alignment with our culture and our core values. This

year, we have aggressive growth plans for all the countries where we have

presence, including India. GlobalLogic has created a network of global

innovation hubs in the US, India, Ukraine, China and Argentina that involve more

than 3,000 of the most innovative software minds. Connecting GlobalLogics hubs

and clients is Velocity, an award-winning platform that cultivates rapid agile

collaboration.

GlobalLogic recently acquired Cubika. What benefits do

you see after this acquisition?



Cubika is the recent most addition to the GlobalLogic family. Founded in 2000,
Cubika has a team of more than 200 technology professionals located in product

delivery centers in Buenos Aires, Mendoza and La Plata. Cubika has expertise in

Flex, SOA, Java and .NET technologies. They specialize in building software

products for the media, entertainment, telecom and finance markets. We believe

that this partnership is a combination of Cubikas talented workforce from Latin

America and Velocity, creating an innovation hub for R&D software products. We

are also expecting that the revenues and the headcount for these centers would

increase by 40% in the first year.

Which verticals/markets is GlobalLogic presently

addressing?



GlobalLogic provides clients with a range of R&D services, including advisory,
customer research, ideation, product engineering, QA/IVT, support and

maintenance, and product line management. The company has ongoing partnerships

with more than 150 clients in markets such as digital media, electronics,
