Hyderabad: Northgate Technologies Ltd, a Hyderabad-based technology, eCommerce and online advertisement solutions provider, has announced its intent to restructure its operations.

According to a statement from S. Venkat S. Meenavalli, Chairman and Managing Director, there is no material increase in tax liabilities. However, in accordance with regulatory issues, there is likelihood of some inter-company payments for share transfers and for intellectual property created.

In a statement, the company informed the BSE: “We are in the process of restructuring our corporate business structure. This is aimed at enhancing operational and financial efficiencies, leverage benefits and achieve flexibility in developing new businesses.”

Wider reach

The new structure would also help the company offer locally tailored products and services in select markets both in India and China.

The company expects that the process would be completed by December.
