Infosys BPO to hire 2,000 more by fiscal-end

NEW DELHI: Infosys BPO, the back-office unit of Infosys Technologies, on Monday said it would hire 1,500-2,000 people by the end of the current fiscal.

“We plan to hire 2,000 people in the next four-five months or by the end of this fiscal. Currently we are 16,000 people in India,'' the Infosys BPO CEO, Mr Amitabh Chaudhry, told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.

The 300-million Infosys subsidiary recently signed an agreement with the Andhra Pradesh Government to set up rural BPO centres in 22 districts of the State.

The company gets significant part of its business from North America and Europe. To bag more clients, it is said to be looking at aligning with Finacle, the banking solution business of its parent.

Infosys BPO has eight delivery centres across the globe, including in Mexico, but it did not have a centre in the US so far. The company registered revenues of $71.3 million with a net profit of $16.3 million for the September quarter. – PTI
