The company had crossed the $500 million mark in the last fiscal year and has been growing well in the subsequent quarters in spite of the pandemic. Kalra, who has just taken over as the CEO, has since May 2019 been running the company’s key technology business unit that accounts for almost 80% of its revenue.
“We are looking at simplifying the structure to be able to take services from the technology unit to the alliances unit and vice versa more easily,” Kalra told ET. IBM<\/a>, which is the biggest customer for the alliance business, has been undergoing a series of changes, and this, Kalra said, presented a whole new set of opportunities. These include working with IBM on taking IBM products to Red Hat and the open hybrid cloud, as well as partnering Red Hat and taking the hybrid cloud to Persistent customers.
In mid-2019, the company under the then CEO Christopher O’Conner had adopted a solutions approach and a strategy to go after big, multiyear deals. Kalra, who was leading this strategy in his earlier role, said the focus was paying off, with the company signing five new $10 million deals in the previous quarter and a few contracts of more than $30 million.
It<\/a> is also looking at acquisition opportunities, either in areas where it is already strong, like product engineering or digital skills, or where its partners are investing. Earlier this month, it announced the acquisition of Capiot Software<\/a>, which has strong capabilities in Mulesoft. Salesforce, which is an important partner for Persistent, had acquired Mulesoft in 2018. Expanding its presence in Europe through an acquisition, which would meet the tech capabilities it is looking for, is also something Kalra is keen on, to try and diversify the business and mitigate geo-political risk.
At present, the US accounts for about 80% of the company’s business. The CEO doesn’t expect the changes in the H-1B visa programme to impact its strategy in any significant manner since the company is relatively less dependent on these work permits and has been hiring more locally in the US. In India, Persistent will be adding 600-800 new employees, a mix of lateral and fresh hires, over the second half of the year, said Kalra.
