The launch of Tech Mahindra South Africa follows an announcement in 2011 to reinforce its leadership and focus on its African operations, Tech Mahindra said in a statement here.
The customer target market for Tech Mahindra in South Africa is the telecom and media sector, it said.
The newly-formed entity will be a Level-3 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowered (B-BBEE) company.
Tech Mahindra South Africa will help create local job opportunities and invest heavily in skills development and employment over a period of 12 months, the statement said.
As part of the B-BEEE strategy, the new company will ensure around 65 percent in local preferential procurement, a corporate social investment plan, as well as a leadership and internship programme, it added.
A dedicated talent exchange programme for the transfer of skills between India and South Africa will also be initiated.
