We are confident that Poland will be a significant hub in our Europe strategy in the coming years.�

Recruitment is well underway at the centre with a team of 23 Polish engineers sent to Zensar's headquarters in Pune, for a three-month in-depth training and understanding of the company's product suite so that they can immediately lead the operations back in Poland.

The engineers will not only be developing their programming skills further but also learn more complex IT infrastructure design and architecture.
