BENGALURU, Aug 27: Automation Anywhere, a leader in
robotic process automation (RPA), announced on Tuesday that it
will open four new offices in India to support customer and
partner growth.
The company said it also plans to double its workforce
across IMEA (India, the Middle East, Africa) by the end of the
current year.
The expansion plan is a result of the increased adoption
of RPA, a technology that helps organisations improve business
productivity and increases the number of tasks that can be
automated, particularly in banking, financial services,
telecommunications, manufacturing and retail, it said.
Gartner estimates that by 2021, 90 per cent of large and
midsize organisations would have at least one process
supported by RPA.
According to equity research firm KeyBanc Capital
Markets, RPA has emerged as a USD 100 billion market
opportunity, an Automation Anywhere release said.
As part of its expansion strategy, Automation Anywhere
would strengthen its presence in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and
Vadodara as well as open new offices in Delhi, Hyderabad,
Chennai and Pune, the release said.
Currently, the company has three engineering centres in
India two in Bengaluru and one in Baroda.
It also plans to open a new product engineering centre in
Pune by the end of the year to expand research and development
capabilities.
“As organisations seek to lower operating costs and
improve employee productivity with RPA, India possesses a
tremendous business opportunity for our company,” Chief
Revenue Officer and Co-Founder of Automation Anywhere, Ankur
Kothari said.
“We are building the world’s most efficient and intuitive
end-to-end intelligent RPA platform, and over the next year,
we anticipate deploying more than one million bots across
India and the Middle East to help more companies discover,
deploy and scale RPA to drive extraordinary human potential”,
he said.
In IMEA, the company has experienced a growth rate of
approximately 200 per cent year-over-year with now more than
3,100 global enterprise brands using its RPA platform, the
release added. (PTI)
