CHENNAI: Scope International, the 100 per cent subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank, UK on Thursday said it is planning to set up another Call Centre/Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) facility in the city.

“We are planning to set up another Call Centre facility here, in addition to the existing one in the city. We are scouting for locations'' Scope International, Chief Executive Officer, Mr Edwin Nevis told PTI, but declined to elaborate.

“We are evaluating whether to buy a property for the call centre or purchase it on lease due to market conditions'', he said.
