Tech Mahindra sets up Saudi unit to strengthen Middle East presence

Shares of Tech Mahindra will remain in focus on August 21 as the IT major announced the incorporation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tech Mahindra Regional Headquarters, in Saudi Arabia.

The primary objective of this incorporation is to support, manage, and provide strategic direction to the company’s subsidiaries operating in Bahrain and Egypt.

Earlier this month, Tech Mahindra disclosed that Pininfarina S.p.A., its step-down subsidiary, increased its stake in Italian stationery company Signature S.r.l. from 24 percent to 84 percent, thereby making it a subsidiary of Pininfarina and, in turn, a step-down subsidiary of Tech Mahindra.
