Infotech company Tech Mahindra announced on Monday that it has partnered with Falcorp to launch Tech Mahindra South Africa to cater to the demand of telecom and media companies in the region.

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.
