Amid Covid-19 gloom sign of economic revival seems in sight with Kerala headquartered Acsia Technologies, a Technopark-based company, announcing to expand operations and hire as many as 200 new techies to work in upcoming projects for developing software for connected, autonomous, shared and electrified automotive technologies.
