LTIMindtree has tied up with Aramco Digital, the digital and technology arm of Saudi Arabia's oil behemoth Aramco, to start an IT services company named NextEra in the country, the companies said in a joint statement on Wednesday. The move will help LTIMindtree establish a stronger presence in the Middle East, a geography where Indian IT services providers have been focusing lately to boost their revenue.
