India’s Zensar Technologies Ltd has become the first Indian IT firm to close an agreement with majority black owned investment business Kapela Fund 1 (Kapela) and The Tomorrow Trust to set up a new Broad Based Black Economic Empowered company in South Africa.

The deal will see Zensar become the majority shareholder of the Broad Based Black Economic Empowered Company and will also expand Zensar’s presence in South Africa.

According to Dr Ganesh Natarajan, Vice-Chairman and CEO of Zensar Technologies the  new Company reiterates their commitment to South Africa and its transformational agenda will help consolidate their leadership in the region.

“We have had an extraordinarily successful decade of operations in South Africa and established leadership in providing technology solutions to the Banking, Insurance, Retail, Manufacturing and Mining sector,” Natarajan said.  “This venture will help us expand our footprint into Government contracts and also enhance our standing in the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) code of the Government.”

Israel Skosana, Executive Chairman of Kapela Holdings is delighted to partner with one of India’s IT leaders to establish a trailblazing venture in South Africa and promised to work with them.

Kim Feinberg, CEO of The Tomorrow Trust said they are ensuring that we have youth who are educated up in order to be proactive participants in South Africa’s economy and society.

“For business to succeed we have to make sure that education is a priority in our country. Zensar has acknowledged and has committed to this fact and therefore has partnered with us to make sure that this indeed happens. Our synergies with bursaries and leadership will be highlighted and developed, creating sustainable impact. The Tomorrow Trust Board of Trustees and I are all very excited about this deal,” Feinberg said.
