KPIT Cummins management is ready to roll out its China plans but the company knows that it needs a solid local partner to crack into China. That is why the company is now looking to tie up with Symbio, a local Chinese company. KPIT is looking to leverage language & ERP skills of Symbio to cater to its global clients and serve Japanese clients as well.Symbio has an employee base of 500 and offices across China including Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian and Chengdu. Other players like Tech Mahindra and Patni have delayed China ventures. Experts say it is a market that no player can afford to miss.
Experts say going into the Chinese market with a local partner is a business model that will sustain in the long run, a model that TCS already follows with its partnership with Microsoft and Chinese government.Players on their own, even a stalwart like Infosys has not been able to scale up substantially in China. KPIT Cummins seem to have learnt its lesson in advance, finding a strategic partner in a market which is crucial to service its global clients.
