Westborough, MA, April 22, 2002 - Kris Canekeratne,
Chairman and CEO, Virtusa Corp., today unveiled the new corporate

its offices in the US, India and Sri Lanka. ìWe are
changing our name to reflect an important transition in the
companyís history,î said Mr. Canekeratne, while

develops and deploys mission critical enterprise products
and solutions for its Fortune 1000 customers and for leading

Virtusa was founded in 1996 by the prominent technology entrepreneur,
Kris Canekeratne, who has assembled a strong leadership team
from companies like IBM, 3Com, Infosys, Aether and John Keells.
Over the years, the company has gone beyond being an efficient

of choice in creating competitive advantage for its clients.
Virtusaís client list includes industry leaders in
the Fortune 1000 space like Fannie Mae and Shawís Supermarkets,

and what we aspire to be - a company that epitomizes engineering
excellence," said Kris Canekeratne, Chairman and CEO
of Virtusa Corporation.
