Entry into the Indian Market through new Joint Venture

·; New territory for the Group with significant opportunity

·; Outsourced procurement services to be provided on the Group's software platform

·; Engaged with a global producer of recognised branded products to consumer markets

PROACTIS Holdings PLC ("PROACTIS", the "Group" or the "Company"), a global Spend Control and eProcurement solution provider, announces the launch of its joint venture operation, Proactis Total Procure Private Limited ("PTP"), to provide its services to the growing Indian market.

Indian businesses are increasingly seeking to meet the challenges of competing on a global basis by improving the transparency and reliability of their procurement processes, whilst also, in line with businesses across the globe, seeking to grow profits through reducing costs.

PTP will provide outsourced procurement services to the Indian market, initially incorporating procurement reviews, vendor networking, sourcing and contract management delivered using PROACTIS' established global software platform and its procurement expertise. In the first month of operation, PTP has already engaged in an exploratory project for the provision of these services to a global producer of recognised branded products to consumer markets.

PTP has been established in collaboration with two joint venture partners, Khwantum Capital Private Limited and Avan Projects Private Limited. These partners provide an opportunity to accelerate commercial traction through access to a unique network of decision makers.

Rod Jones, CEO of PROACTIS, commented:

"We are delighted to announce the launch of our operation in India which continues our strategy to increase our presence in new territories and increase our exposure to the SaaS model. The Indian market opportunity is significant and I am excited at the prospect of working with our partners to access it."
