IT services firm UST said on Monday that it has expanded its operations in Bengaluru by opening its second office in the city. The new office with an area of 17,000 square feet has a capacity to house 300 people, said the firm in a statement.

The development comes more than a month after the IT firm set a target of having 6,000 employees in its Kochi centre, up from the current level of 2,800, in the next five years. While UST’s Thiruvananthapuram centre has about 7,500 employees and is the company’s largest centre globally, UST Bengaluru which started operations in 2012 has currently more than 6,000 employees and is second largest global delivery centre for the firm.

The firm added that the Bengaluru center has consistently grown since 2012, delivering innovative solutions across semiconductor, healthcare, technology, logistics, hi-tech, retail, and BFSI sectors. Across India, the IT firm has around 20,000 employees. Globally, the firm has more than 30,000 employees.

Kirankumar Doreswamy, vice president and center head, Bengaluru, said, “We are excited to inaugurate our second office in Bengaluru as it represents a forward-thinking investment towards UST’s future while marking a testament to our continued growth. Driven by the city’s best IT and technology talent, Bengaluru has always remained a key location for UST’s technological and digital capabilities. We are confident that this expansion will further strengthen our capabilities and push us to the forefront of innovation as we continue to prioritize delivering high-value solutions for our customers.”

Last month, UST acquired the automation unit of Information Services Group (ISG), for a total consideration of $27 million. The firm said the acquisition will strengthen its position in the intelligent automation space and allow the company to deliver a broader set of services to its clients.
