Executives of an Indian conglomerate will visit Korea for two days to expand cooperation with information technology firms here.

The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) said Tuesday that the top executives of Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) will hold one-one-one talks with local IT companies today.

The session, in cooperation with the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), is titled "Korea IT Focus."

Richard Clark, vice president of cloud engineering; Villiappan Letchumana, vice president of program management; Chetan Mehta, head of telecom 4G LTE device sourcing; and Lim Da-hee, business analyst at Reliance JIO, a telecom unit of RIL, will visit data center and electronic products factories.

RIL is the second largest publicly traded company in India, headquartered in Mumbai. It is operating in five major segments: exploration and production, refining and marketing, petrochemical, retail and telecommunications.

Reliance JIO has pledged to set up 14 data centers in India in order to create a cloud-computing infrastructure and roll out 4G, or fourth generation telecom service in the fourth quarter of the year.

Reliance JIO seeks to benchmark successful cases in the Korean 4G market. The four executives will visit mobile hardware device developers to find innovative products that it might be able to introduce to Indian customers. "The company hopes to co-work with various IT device producers such as Wi-Fi routers, gaming device, components and accessories, as well as software companies based on Android operating systems," said Kim Byung-kwon, strategic marketing director at KOTRA.

Korea IT Focus is a bid to link promising Korean SMSE to global companies.

KOTRA and MSIP will support domestic companies to participate in projects which Middle Eastern and Central and South American companies plan to launch this year.
