gearing to support the above demand and to also offer Payments Certification and Testing
Solutions to the leading global banks.

    Speaking on the occasion, Sirisha Voruganti, Head, Device Testing, Tech Mahindra said,

lot of interoperability and compliance issues in the network as well. With this test lab,
we are geared to help the Chipset manufacturers, OEMs and Service Providers to reduce the
failure rates to NIL in the field and hasten their market growth. Our Lab focuses on
troubleshooting and consulting with global clients while providing cost-effective test
