MR SAFIR ADENI

Chennai , Aug. 23

Sitel India, a 50:50 joint venture between the Tata Group and the $1.2 billion US-based Sitel Corporation, will start a development centre in Chennai.

The centre will come up in a month at the Chennai Citi Centre, located in the heart of the city, with an investment of Rs 25 crore, said Mr Safir Adeni, Chief Executive Officer, Sitel India.

Recruitment plans

The company plans to recruit in Chennai around 1,000 people in the next one year and it will look for additional space in the city if required. It currently has about 3,000 employees operating out of three centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad, he told newspersons.

The Chennai centre will provide a contact centre and back office services to clients in banking, financial services and insurance, telecom and technology sectors.

According to Mr Serin, there is no competition with the Tata Group, especially Tata Consultancy Services, which is also in contact centre and business process outsourcing services. "We complement each other," he said.
