MUMBAI:
Aegis, the business process outsourcing company owned by the Essar Group, has
begun partnering with startups on social media products and analytics, and
plans to hire 5,000 people in India to tap growth from eCommerce, telecom and
public sectors.
The
business process outsourcing industry has increasingly been talking of working
with startups to boost their strategic value to the customers. Experts expect
social media and analytics to be baked into deals going forward. "The idea
is to focus on products and platforms.
We
have already tied-up with one Indian startup in the social media space, and we
are looking at partnering with one more. These are go-to-market
partnerships," Sandip Sen, CEO of Aegis, told. Sen said increasing demand
from telecom, ecommerce and public sectors were also driving the company's
hiring plans for the year.
"We
plan to hire 5,000 people this year, and that is just in India. We will add
another 2,500 in rest of the world," Sen said.
