Xansa India plans to set up Rs 22cr facility

Xansa India Limited (Xansa), the Chennai-based business process and IT services company, plans on investing Rs 22 crore to set up a new facility in Chennai, in the next six months and add 700 seats.

According to information from a press release, Xansa's new facility will have the potential to grow to a 6,000 people campus. The company already has a 28-acre campus in Chennai.

"Xansa has a little under 3,000 people in India across Noida, Chennai and Pune. We are planning to increase our headcount to 10,000 within the next three to four years. When that happens, more than 50 per cent of Xansa's global workforce will be situated in India, which will be a first for any UK-based or international company," said Saurabh Srivastava, executive chairman of Xansa.

On Chennai's strengths, Srivastava said, "The state is attracting a growing number of companies in the IT and BPO space due to the existing infrastructure and a talented pool of workforce. We are committed to providing the best facilities for our people and I am sure our new campus at Chennai would prove to be an ideal working environment for our employees."

Xansa is part of the UK-based Xansa Plc and its BPO operations in Chennai are mainly driven by high-value transaction processing in the insurance and finance space.
