Fujitsu mulls merger of two Indian outfits
KOLKATA: Fujitsu, the $43-billion Japanese conglomerate, is toying with the idea of consolidating its Indian operation by merging two entities into one. The information technology & telecommunication giant now has two companies in India, Fujitsu India Ltd (FIL) for hardware and Fujitsu Consulting India for software operations.
Fujitsu India GM (offshore promotion office) S Miyamoto said the idea is to merge Fujitsu Consulting with Fujitsu India in near future.
Miyamoto was in Kolkata recently as a part of the Japanese delegation to see investment opportunity in the state.
"The entire Indian operation is likely to come under Fujitsu Japan after a certain period. This will be a part of the consolidation exercise. We like to have one entity in India," the official said.
Fujitsu India is a subsidiary of Fujitsu Japan and Fujitsu Consulting is the subsidiary of Fujitsu USA. The Japanese conglomerate has recently sold its stake in Zensar Technologies, the joint venture with the RPG group.
Fujitsu used to hold 29% stake in Zensar through Fujitsu Services Ltd. Miyamoto added the group is now looking for merger and acquisitions in India in the software space.
"The acquisitions will be in western India. Fujitsu has initiated talks with a few companies," he said.
