Ushacomm India on a recruitment spree

KOLKATA: At a time when most IT majors are going in for large-scale lay-offs, Ushacomm India, a Rs. 3,000-crore Usha Martin Group company, is on a recruitment spree. Not being an IT body shop has paid off for this Kolkata-based solutions provider.

With all three prospective candidates for U.S. presidentship proposing imposition of strict restrictions on IT body shopping, India undoubtedly stands threatened, but Ushacomm will not be affected, said a company release.

“We are not worried about the American economic recession as our clients are not concentrated in the U.S. Moreover, we have our own product line and are not into body shopping. The falling dollar should, therefore, not affect us in a big way,” says Debyani Sinha, Head (HR), Ushacomm.

Ushacomm is a leading provider of Business Support Systems (BSS) for fixed, mobile, broadband/IP, and cable and satellite markets. Along with its South African sister concern, Eppixcomm, Ushacomm caters to over 65 operators worldwide with the clientele ranging from greenfield operators to major corporations serving millions of subscribers. Major ICT providers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and America have selected Ushacomm products and services for their complex and unique business needs in the OSS/BSS value chain.

Though it is predicted that the Indian IT industry could shrink to half its size by 2012, Ushacomm has drawn a road map for the growing telecom industry. “The telecom sector is booming and there is a huge market for our high-end billing and customer care solutions worldwide,” says Saugata Banerjee, Executive Director.
