Aditi Technologies, a "cloud first" technology services company, is to create 40 jobs in Dublin through the establishment of its European service and business development centre.

Headquartered in Bangalore, India, Aditi has helped over 150 companies run and transform their business with cloud platforms like Windows Azure, SalesForce.com, and Amazon Web Services. The Irish operation will focus on aiding the complex cross platform deployments to cloud, with gradual recruitment of consulting and engineering staff, as the business grows its services in Europe. Aditi's European business has been growing more than 50 per cent year on year, and from a standing start in 2007, and now accounts for almost a third of its global business.

Kaushik Banerjee, VP Europe, Aditi Technologies, said: “Ireland offers an encouraging investment climate with investor and business friendly policies so it became an obvious choice for us when looking at our expansion in Europe. There is also a wealth of local technology talent which we are looking forward making part of Aditi.”

The announcement was made as part of a trade and investment mission to Bangalore, India, with Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton also announcing another new business win for the IDA.

“Being in the drug safety, IT and regulatory affairs fields, Ireland’s profile as a hub for the global life science sector and its cosmopolitan talent pool, were also key factors in our decision. We are confident that Ireland will add value to our clients and further fuel our growth trajectory,” he said.
