Bhubaneshwar, Nov 22: The country's largest BPO company Genpact Thursday broke ground for its special economic zone (SEZ) here, which it is jointly developing with the Orissa government, official sources said.
Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik laid the foundation stone for the new facility in the presence of Genpact President and CEO Pramod Bhasin.
The commissioning of this SEZ facility, spread over an area of 12.145 acre, would be done in three phases between 2009 and 2011, Bhasin said. "On completion, 500,000 square feet of office space will be available to seat over 4,000 employees for Genpact," he told reporters.
"It is a matter of great pride for Orissa that Genpact has decided to set up operations in the state," State Energy Minister S N Patro said, adding that the BPO company's operation would work as a catalyst for other IT companies to invest in the state.
While Andhra Pradesh government has allotted a 50-acre plot of land, Rajasthan government has offered 25 acre of land for setting up SEZs in their states to Genpact, Bhasin said.
