Aptech Education was demerged as a separate entity and its software division was amalgamated with Hexaware Technologies Ltd., another company promoted by Atul Nishar. While the new entity was renamed Hexaware Technologies (HTL), the training division retained the Aptech brand as it was more synonymous with education. Aptech which is an acknowledged brand in the IT training industry ventured into its software operations focusing on knowledge management, e-commerce and education software. Hexaware is a software services provider that offers powerful process-driven, high-quality, cost-effective solutions that help organizations operate efficiently. The objective of the merger is to provide a better geographical reach and a wider array of IT solutions to its worldwide clientele. 2001 was a year of change for this education and services company.
