I am confident that this will prove to be a successful venture and will encourage further investment by Irish companies in the Indian market,” he added.
“Linesight’s Indian clients and Indian-based multinationals, who are clients of Linesight elsewhere, have requested our presence on the ground here. Having a local base allows us to service both our clients more effectively, develop strategic partnerships, access local resources, formulate the most up-to-date market insights, and gain a deeper knowledge of the region. We have delivered projects in over 40 countries and are always exploring new areas of opportunity.
