History And Development
Hexaware is a spin off of the erstwhile “Apple Industries”, the IT arm of the reputed IT education firm “Aptech” which was started 1984. In 1990, Atul Nishar, founder of Aptech set up Hexaware. In 1992, the company was incorporated as Public Limited Company under the name Aptech Information Systems. With trusted clients across the globe and it’s cutting edge technology, Hexaware has come a long way with its revenues shooting up from $ 50 million to $ 250 million within a decade. The company’s growth during the 90’s can be attributed to the relaxed tax regime and the regulatory environment, prevalent during those years.
In 2001, Aptech was rechristened as “Hexaware Technologies Limited”. The software division of Aptech and the training outfit were demerged in the same year.
