Raja Simhan T.E.

Chennai , Aug 4

TWO UK-based firms, Supersight Ceequence and Cartel Group Holdings Plc, together plan to invest about £5 million (Rs 42 crore) over a period of time, and recruit about 1,500 employees in the next 18 months in India for business process outsourcing (BPO). Supersight has blocked four acres of land at the Siruseri industrial park on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, Chennai's information technology corridor, to set up a centre for the joint venture, said Mr Rajesh Somasundaram, Chief Operating Officer, Supersight.

As an extension of the existing relationship, the two firms also announced on Tuesday that they would establish Cartel's BPO and call centre operations in Chennai. About 75 Supersight employees are currently managing Cartel's mortgage-business lead generation from Chennai. With business picking up, Cartel wants Supersight to increase the number of employees by 50 per cent in the next six weeks in Chennai, said Mr Somasundaram.

According to Mr Somasundaram, Supersight, has been providing voice-based support to Cartel for a year.
