You have embarked on a four-pronged strategy for AppLabs. What has been on your mind since the expansion?
Plans are on the avail to make China our secondary location. The thrust to have a backup location in China has come from the customer side as well, and we are now working on options to set up our base in China. As far as the four-pronged expansion is concerned, it includes opening up testing facilities in India and the UK, a training center in India, and increase headcount. A facility at Preston is the first in the series of testing facilities that AppLabs will set up in the UK. In India, big companies are seeking our services. In another 12 months, we are expecting $5 mn business in India.

How has the acquisition of the UK-based IS Integration helped you in your expansion endeavor?
The acquisition has helped us reinforce our commitment to the European market, and also marked the start of AppLabs operation in the UK. The service portfolio of AppLabs has increased and now offers product development and testing, banking and financial services, telecommunications, and retail. AppLabs has gone for a re-brand, which will also play a key role in accelerating the companys growth.

As far as testing is concerned, what is the Indian scenario in terms of growth opportunities of independent testing companies?
Testing and certification by independent companies is gaining wide acceptance. Major IT players have recognized the potentials of testing companies in conducting unbiased quality checks, testing techniques, and domain knowledge. The differentiating factor of AppLabs has been in the way it has carved out innovative methods in delivering high value adds to our customers. Long-term relationships with clients have helped us in working towards adding value to their organization as well as establish our credibility. AppLabs has positioned itself as an independent quality management and testing partner.

And, what are the future trends?
Testing for compliance is a trend fast gaining importance. Companies are now going for security and performance testing. In the coming days, phone-based automated testing is bound to gather momentum, and in addition to the demands created, all these will be value-adds offered by testing companies.
