V Srinivasan managing director and CEO, of the company, said, "3i Infotech's strategy over the last few years has been one of consistent growth. This has been achieved through a prudent mix of organic and inorganic growth leading to an expansion of our suite of product and services offerings across geographies. We expect to continue this growth trajectory with the help of the current FCCB. Our third in a one year time frame, this FCCB is also indicative of 3i Infotech's constant expansion plans and commitment to its shareholders."
