127 | Aztecsoft
Aztecsoft would bid adieu to the DQ 200 club after Mindtree acquired it for Rs
400 crore. The fluctuating dollar and US slowdown had started taking its toll on
the company. Nevertheless, Aztecsoft added 20 new strategic clients including
leaders in data management and wireless domains. The market strategy was revised
with increased focus on software testing in new domains like Internet and life
sciences. Expansion was in its agenda as it opened a new facility at Rajiv
Gandhi Infotech Park, Pune.
