BPO Firm Navigant Technologies to Hire 1,000

BPO services firm Navigant Technologies is planning to expand its workforce by 1,000 employees in this financial year to meet growing demand.

At present, the Gurgaon-based firm has a headcount of 800 employees. "We are expanding our workforce to meet growing work demand. This fiscal we will hire 1,000 people," Navigant

Technologies founder and CEO Ankur Bhatia told PTI.

On the hiring pattern, Mr Bhatia said about 50-60 per cent will be freshers and the rest would be lateral hires.

The firm also plans to open another centre, which will require an investment of about $2 million, in a metro city in the near future.

"At present, we have 2 centres with a capacity of 600 seats. We plan to open another centre with an initial capacity of 500 seats and which will later be expanded to 1,000 seats," Bhatia said.

The company is scouting for locations in Delhi and Gurgaon for its new centre.

Asked about the investments, he said: "We have been funding our growth through internal accruals so far. We will go out for investments once we achieve a size of about 2,000 seats."
