In the last few months, midsize companies established software labs, moved into partnerships with different universities to grow their businesses. To highlight the emergence of these companies among top caters, Ananth said, “A Chennai based R&D company even has a backup team of 100 employees ready in Argentina, at the time of downturn and this defines their positive approach in this downturn market.”
