    Sanghi, who is currently CEO of global data centres and cloud infrastructure in India, told ET that the new entity would focus on six different areas of revenue and compete directly with Indian technology services companies.

    “We believe this (integration) would make our position in India very unique, and we will be among the top two or three IT companies that are targeting the domestic market,” he said. “This reiterates NTT’s global commitment that India is one of the most important markets.”

    The announcement to integrate the units was made in July 2019 by the parent group and scheduled for completion by January 2021. The decision followed similar integrations of multiple NTT units in other countries.

    The company is also planning to build new products with cross-functional R&D teams, by fusing teams across disciplines in all three organisations, Sanghi said.

    “There are strengths that each organisation brings. We (Netmagic) have a lot of knowledge on data centre and cloud, NTT globally is one of the largest network providers and Dimension Data brings a lot of knowledge on enterprise and digital transformation,” he said.

    The company has identified six core areas -- digital transformation, customer experience, intelligent workplace, data centre and hybrid cloud, networking and cybersecurity.

    “The range of services that the three organisations have will be bucketed into these six themes and we believe this will be an unbeatable combination in the country,” Sanghi said.

    Netmagic has been growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 30% and NTT India is growing at a CAGR of close to 20%, according to the company.

    It will also hire more people for the new combined areas of services and elevate leaders to new positions.

    “The combined entity will grow at north of 20%; obviously we will be adding talent and try and optimise our resources - there may be changes in roles and new roles for individuals given that we will have new offerings to service the market,” he said.
