“We are recruiting as per requirement for a particular new business which we have bagged recently,” confirmed Manjula Manjotra, head of Global Marketing and Communications (GM&C), Satyam BPO Limited.
“According to the requirements of a client, who has given a new business order, a batch of freshers have been recruited by the company. The brand Satyam perhaps still sells. None of our clients have backed out,” a senior employee of Satyam BPO said.
And even though the company is not on a recruitment spree, hiring is taking place at an average level to fulfil demands of clients. “The numbers are neither good nor are they very low. There is a lull in the market at the moment and even we cant escape that. However, people have been recently recruited at the agent level, which is level zero, and they are expected to report either today or tomorrow,” said another associate.
Talks of the BPO arm of Satyam being up for sale have been doing the rounds and reportedly, Essar Group’s outsourcing firm Aegis BPO is on the verge of approaching Satyam Computers for a possible buyout of its BPO operations. Nipuna Services which was established as a BPO arm of Satyam in June 2002, was renamed Satyam BPO Ltd last January and currently employs about 3500 to 4500 people. Source
