Mumbai, November 17

American private equity giant Blackstone on Thursday said it will pick up majority stake in digital services firm R Systems International for $359 million or Rs 2,904 crore.

Blackstone has signed definitive agreements with Satinder Singh Rekhi and other promoters of R Systems to this effect, it said.

The Noida-based R Systems, founded in 1993 by Rekhi, is a leading provider of digital IT services, specialising in product engineering, and serves over 250 customers in technology, media, telecom, and financial services sectors globally.

R Systems employs over 4,400 people across 18 delivery centers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and India. It reported revenue in the 12-months ending September at Rs 1,445 crore, a 36% year-on-year growth.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
