Genpact hires 500 in Jaipur in five months

Genpact, a global major in business services and technology solutions, has announced that it has hired close to 500 associates during the last five months for its operations in Jaipur.

Almost 80 per cent of the associates are hired from Jaipur and 20 per cent of the candidates from towns such as Jodhpur, Udaipur and Ajmer.

Genpact is also working closely with the Rajasthan government to set up its third facility in Jaipur.

Genpact, formerly GE Capital International Services, was among the first to set up its business process outsourcing (BPO) operations in Rajasthan in Jaipur.

The facility has a capacity for over 2,000 people.

"We see tremendous demand for high-value BPO work and are expanding rapidly. We are working with the Rajasthan government to set up the third Genpact facility and currently, we are diverting our work to other Genpact centres to manage the talent and facility shortage. We have also been investing massively in training," said Diwakar Singhal, Genpact vice-president.
