Bangalore, June 13: Leading third party Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) player Daksh eServices Pvt Ltd plans to hire 900 people during the year to ramp up its total headcount to over 4,500, said a top company official. The $30 million Daksh, which has among its customers Fortune 500 companies, plans to set up a call centre in the Asia-Pacific region next year and has identified Malaysia, Phillipines and Mauritius as potential locations.
"The overseas centre is due to a demand from our clients who want a redundancy unit out of India. It would be during 2004," said Daksh Co-founder and Sr Vice President (Strategic Initiatives), Pavan Vaish.

Though Daksh declined to name its clients citing costumer confidentiality, leading online book store Amazon.com, which outsources its e-mail based services has a stake in the firm.
Vaish said that the ITES firm, whose 2/3rd of business is generated through voice-based transactions and the rest by technical support, plans an initial public offer in the next 12 to 18 months. Bureau Report
