About Power Centre

Company History

In the world of business, every organization has its strength, its expertise. At Power Centre, it is our ability to understand the needs of our customers and identify the right solutions to cater to those needs.

Started in 1972 to provide reliable backup power for industries, the organization has kept ahead of the times and upgraded its expertise and range to cater to the age of information technology. The initiative of Sidhartha Ramachandran, a Computer Engineering student from the University of Texas at Austin, Power Centre’s foray into Information Technology began in the early 1990s when many organisations were just exploring the very basic power of computers. Since then, Power Centre has grown from strength to strength helping organisations navigate the rapid changes in technology from the influx of laptops and client servers to cloud technology and AI.

Power Centre gives its clients complete solutions through software, hardware, and cloud backed by professional and committed service with a team of experienced professionals and over three decades of support to hundreds of organisations across all verticals.

This is the expertise of Power Centre, and this is what we bring to your business.

When you look for an ideal partner, you look not only for an organization that is proficient in technology, but also, one with values and principles that align with your organisation. Power Centre has long believed that the culture of an organization is reflected not merely in how we work with our clients, but also in how we work with our employees and how we interact with our community.

HR

Power Centre has strong HR values; work life balance is treasured. This is critical for all employees as we believe it allows them to find time to learn new technologies, grow and support their clients better. This does not mean that clients cannot reach the team after office hours. The team can be reached for emergencies at any time, with senior professionals responding to client queries as required.

CSR

Power Centre was one of the early organizations to adopt a non-discrimination, nondisclosure policy for HIV. In recent years, Power Centre has also been working with numerous NGOs to try to explore the role that neurodiverse individuals can play in the effective functioning of the organization. These initiatives, coupled with a strong employee culture of collaboration and cooperation makes Power Centre stand out. Not merely as your IT provider, but as an organization with strong cultural ethical values.

Power Centre believes that it is important to give back to the community and has, as part of its CSR, adopted an NGO called the Petralthan Pillaiya Trust. The trust works to monitor, mentor and guide children with HIV through telephone-based counselling.
