Indian IT services company Tech Mahindra has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat government to offer digital engineering services in the state. The company said it will also expand operations in Gujarat and hire more than 3,000 professionals over the next five years.

As part of the collaboration, Tech Mahindra will provide digital engineering services to enable businesses to navigate digital transformation challenges by making them more connected and agile, thereby helping them build digital products and create new revenue streams, the company said.

“Our MoU with the Government of Gujarat will enable us to address the changing engineering needs of enterprises today and help us in our quest to deliver state-of-the-art digital engineering services,” said C.P Gurnani, managing director and chief executive officer, Tech Mahindra.
