Kaspersky Labs India operations will
have Hyderabad as Hub
Russian anti-virus
software and internet security solutions player Kaspersky Labs is planning to
make Hyderabad the hub of its Indian operations with plans to pump in nearly $2
million this year in setting up a team of nearly 20 people this year and
ramping it up to over 150 by next year.
Kaspersky, which set
up a small office here earlier this year, is now mulling over plans to set up a
virus lab, local R&D facilities as well as a call centre in the city, Kaspersky
Labs Asia MD Harry Cheung said here on Tuesday.
Cheung said
that though currently Kaspersky was operating in India through two
distributors, the city-based Zoom Technologies and Pune-based Sakri IT
Solutions, in the long run it would like to take on the Indian market on its
own.
The company is also planning to set up a nearly
100-people strong call centre here to cater to the Asia markets. Our main focus
is on the consumer market and we are targeting nearly 2 million internet users
this year with our anti-virus products and hope to increase this to 5 million
users next year, said Cheung, explaining that the company was all set to unveil
its low-cost anti-virus software KAV (Kaspersky Anti-Virus) in India next month
in the sub-Rs 500 price bracket.
