Bhubaneswar: Infosys BPM Services, the Business Process Management subsidiary of IT major Infosys will open its first centre in eastern India at Bhubaneswar. Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Pattnaik will inaugurate the BPM unit at Infocity on Thursday (10th August).
The Bhubaneswar centre of Infosys BPM will generate over 500 jobs in the first phase and in the subsequent expansions the employment numbers will go up to 2000.
In financial year 2022-23, the company had recorded its slowest growth since 2016-17, hurt by a decline in revenue from its top clients and the nature of deals where the bulk of the proceeds were already accounted for in the previous two years.
However, the outlook for the BPM sector looks robust as analysts predict the industry will benefit from the demand in a recessionary environment.
According to a report by the Everest group, there is a big pipeline of mega deals in the industry, and Infosys BPM is well positioned in this pipeline, hence the firm is expected to recover quickly in the current fiscal.
