Mr. Ulhas Shiurkar, Principal - Hitech Engineering College, was the Guest of Honour.

Established in 1992 with a focus on recruitment services, Ma Foi has since grown to become the largest staffing and HR services provider in India and is one of the largest employers in the country. Ma Foi has been partnering with leading organizations and offering its HR solutions to Indian and Multinational companies across various industry sectors and verticals.

Aurangabad has some of the best colleges in Maharashtra - Government College of Engineering, Mahatma Gandhi Mission College of Medicine & Engineering and many prestigious management institutes and professional colleges sending out a large number of quality candidates every year.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Rajiv Krishnan said, "With NASSCOM's initiative to take the IT and ITES-BPO industries into the Tier II and Tier III cities in India, Aurangabad is emerging to be a place of opportunities and our franchisee here would be able to leverage upon Ma Foi's varied experience across industry verticals to provide professional services to employers as well as increase employability among the talent pool."

Aurangabad has been a place of great importance due to its location on the famous "Silk Route" that traversed the breadth of Asia to reach Europe. Aurangabad's strategic position in the Deccan earned it the name of "Khidki" (window), serving as it did, as an opening through which North India could look into the Deccan.

These days it is a manufacturing hub with a large number of engineering services, auto ancillary and pharma research companies having set up their facilities here. With the Aurangabad Automobile Industrial Cluster (AAIC) expected to flag off later this year, growth is inevitable. The STPI, Aurangabad is ensuring that the communication infrastructure meets global standards. The Waluj-MIDC Industrial area Shendra 5 star industrial area and the Chikalthana Industrial area situated on the outskirts of this city have also been showing tremendous development.

The Business Partner Office in Aurangabad will be headed by Mr. Keyur Modi and supported by a strong team of professionals from the industry. Ma Foi, Aurangabad will offer Flexi-staffing, Recruitment, Assessment, Training and Payroll outsourcing services.
