MindTree: Looking for Buys in $50 Million-$100 Million Size

BANGALORE -- MindTree Ltd. is looking for acquisitions valued at $50 million-$100 million to help in its bid to post $1 billion in revenue by 2014, the Indian software exporter's chief executive said.

"I would think, maybe 20% of our revenue would come from acquisitions as part of this $1 billion vision," Krishnakumar Natarajan, who is also the managing director of the company, told Dow Jones Newswires in a recent interview.

The company had reported $269.1 million in revenue in the last fiscal year ended March 31.

The company is looking for acquisitions to expand its infrastructure management and package application businesses, Mr. Natarajan said. MindTree's last major acquisition was in 2008, when it bought product-related testing services firm Aztecsoft for $90 million.

Bangalore-based MindTree specializes in providing services to the manufacturing, banking and financial services sectors. Like its peers, it is slowly recovering from the effects of the global economic slowdown as technology spending makes a modest return in developed nations.
