GSS America Infotech Ltd is raising upto $75 Mn through various routes like QIP, FCCBs, ADRs or GDRs to fund acquisitions. GSS has identified companies in the same line of business and would acquire them in a span of a year.

GSS America is keen to acquire companies which would assure it of uniform revenues over a period of time. It may look to acquire companies in the infrastructure management space.

GSS America Infotech – incorporated in 1999 by Bhargav Marepally and Ramesh Yerramsetti – offers enterprise application and collaboration solutions, infrastructure optimization and virtualization solutions and IT and remote infrastructure management services.

It’s clientele includes Ernst & Young, BMC Software, TDS Telecom and Pepsi among others.

GSS America's Acquisitions


Year Target Business
2009 ATEC Corp Virtual Infrastructure
2008 System Dynamix Corp Project Management, Enterprise Application Integration
2006 Infospectrum Consulting IT Consulting & Software Development

GSS America posted a bottomline of Rs 2.49 Cr on revenues of Rs 10.43 Cr, 10% of which comes from the Indian market, while the balance 90% comes from the US markets. GSS’s exposure in the Indian market is so low because the Indian operations are used for delivery and not a market place.

GSS America has about Rs 100 Cr cash reserves on its books as on June'09.

HCL Technologies and Wipro are the other players operating in the space.
