Outsourcing Outsource Partners opening service centre in Kochi Our Bureau
Kochi , Nov. 15 THE US-based Outsource Partners International, Inc (OPI) has announced the opening of its BPO service centre in Kochi. The 137,000-sq-ft centre, located in the Leela Info Park at Kakkanad, has a capacity to accommodate 2,000 associates. Addressing a press meet, Mr Kishore Mirchandani, President and CEO of OPI's Indian operations said that Kochi was selected following a search that included quite a few Indian locations. "We are optimistic about the skills sets it has to offer. Bright talented people will now have the opportunity to find rewarding jobs and build an exciting career without having to leave their hometown," he said. The establishment of the facility at Kochi would enable the company to take advantage of competitive labour and infrastructure costs as against those of Bangalore and other large cities, he added. The State Chief Minister, Mr Ommen Chandy, will inaugurate the new centre at Kochi on Thursday. Earlier this year, OPI launched a preliminary facility in Kochi with a capacity of 64 seats. It also has a shared service centre in Bangalore with a capacity to accommodate more than 600 associates. According to Mr Mirchandani, the company has chalked out aggressive expansion plans in the State in the near future and is also planning to set up another centre in Thiruvananthapuram. OPI, he said, has more than 850 associates operating through seven offices in the US and service centres in Bangalore and Kochi.
