Delcam joins UK delegation to India

Taking place from 25 to 27 August, the 40-strong trade delegation aimed to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the new Indian government's focus on economic growth and included major British businesses from the retail, aerospace and education sectors. This was the first high-level trade mission to India since Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected in May. CADCAM software specialist Delcam was part of the group focused on the aerospace sector. "I was extremely honoured to be chosen to take part in this important visit," commented Martell. "It provided a huge boost to Delcam's profile in India, especially among the larger companies we visited, including Airbus India, HAL and UTAS, and the government officials we met." Delcam has recently reached 2,500 customers in India, the company's business having expanded considerably since it established a wholly-owned subsidiary there in 2000. In the following years, Delcam India has grown from its initial staff of three to more than 100 employees. The company is based in new, purpose-built headquarters in Pune that cost around $1 million when they were constructed in 2006. Delcam India also operates 14 regional offices spread across the country, to support its growing customer base.
