"For Pyxis, the deal would bring on board benefits of scalability, a robust global delivery model, strong offshore base and institutional strengths of being part of a larger group," he said.

The synergy between the two companies is expected to create large opportunities for cross selling by leveraging the existing customer base of both Pyxis and ITC Infotech, by enlarging the geographic reach of services offered and by creating new opportunities for diversified offerings.

Pyxis would continue to work under its founders and would be a subsidiary of ITC Infotech (USA).
