Infosys BPO to hire 550, to double investment in Poland

Infosys BPO said on Friday it would increase the total headcount of its Poland operations to 1,500 in next one year.

"The company currently employees 950 people, atleast in next twelve months, we should get to a level of around 1,500," Infosys BPO managing director and chief executive officer Dandapani Swaminathan told PTI.

Besides the company would double the investment in the region (Poland) over the next two years, Swaminathan said.

He expects to 'double the investment in the region (Poland) over the next two years, taking base level around $10 million.'

On the issue of attrition, Swaminathan added that at the place like Poland these are manageable.

Asking on the ban by the Ohio government on outsourcing of government IT projects outside the United States he said, 'its not only about shifting jobs its also about driving efficiency. This will be even out as we move forward.'

In the medium to the long term, industry will find solutions to ensure that it will be pain free for everyone.

These are all policies, which keeps on coming in the Asia Pacific and European regions. These issues can have a short term impact in one region and may have a short term spurt in another region, he added.
