Healthcare BPO Omega plans to make $2.5-million investments as part of ramping up its facilities in the country.

At present, the company has three facilities in Tiruchi, Bangalore and Chennai. It employs about 3,300 personnel.

Aiming for a 40 per cent growth on its revenues this year, the company has proposed to recruit 1,000 employees, Omega Healthcare Management Services CEO, Mr Gopi Natarajan, said.

“We will be adding another 1,000 employees this year taking the total to 4,300... most of them would be appointed in our Tiruchi unit...,” he told reporters here.

For increasing the seating capacity including ramping up infrastructure (particularly in Tiruchi unit), he said: “We will be required to make another $2.5 million.’’

The city-headquartered company has already invested $2.5 million for the Tiruchi unit which recently began operations.

Stating that about 1,500 employees were already employed at their Bangalore and Chennai units, respectively, he said the Tiruchi unit employs 190 people. “This year, it will be taken to 800 and the remaining will be appointed in Bangalore and Chennai facilities,” he said.

He said the company’s revenues grew 20 per cent last year and was expecting it to double its growth this year.

“The healthcare industry valued at $2.3 trillion will reach $4.6 trillion in another 10 years,” Omega Healthcare Management Services COO, Mr John Fundingsland, who recently assumed office, said.
