MUMBAI, INDIA: Independent IT management software company CA, Inc today announced that Saurabh Srivastava will join CA effective April 6, 2009, as chairman of CA India. The announcement was made by Michael Christenson, CA's president and chief operating officer.

"Saurabh, in the unique role of chairman of CA India, brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience about the Indian market and IT industry, which will be invaluable as we seek to expand our operations in India and position ourselves appropriately with the country's technology elite, government and venture capital communities," said Christenson.

"CA is on the leading edge of the software industry in helping companies effectively manage the IT services required to drive business success," Srivastava said.

"The Company has made a substantial investment in India and is a perfect partner for not only Indian companies, but India's growing IT service providers. I look forward to representing CA and helping in its efforts to expand operations in India."

Srivastava's IT career spans corporate and start-up companies, and industry associations, said the release. He worked in the US, UK, India and Singapore in senior positions with companies such as IBM and Unisys before becoming an entrepreneur and venture capitalist.

He founded the software company IIS Infotech, which in 1998 merged with Xansa, an outsourcing and technology company. He also co-founded Infinity Ventures India's first early stage fund and is chairman of the Indian Venture Capital Association, the release added.
