OPI opens BPO centre in Kochi

This is OPI's third service centre after Dallas and Bangalore. An integrated incubation space with a capacity of 64 seats was inaugurated on Monday at the Infopark.

The work on the 1.34 lakh square feet state-of-the-art service centre, which will accommodate 2000 employees, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2006, Kishore Mirchandani, president and chief executive officer of OPI's Indian subsidiary, Business Process Outsourcing Private Ltd, said.

OPI had taken up the entire space in the 1.34 lakh square feet area being built by Leela IT Park near Infopark.

The centre, which will be bigger than the Bangalore office, will be equipped with advanced technology and linked directly to OPI's data centres in the US.

OPI focuses solely on finance and accounting outsourcing and provides a unique onsite/offshore model to its clients that substantially reduces costs and improves financial reporting, he said.
