Tech Mahindra, the country's fifth-largest software exporter, said it has opened a BPO facility in Chandigarh.

The facility focuses on BPO operations at present, and will provide other IT services and end-to-end customer support to both international and domestic clients later, Tech Mahindra said in a statement.

The campus will have 500 seats initially and another 900 seats are planned to be added by the end of November this year, it added.

"Chandigarh is known for its exceptional BPO and IT culture, infrastructure, local support from the government, availability of skilled manpower and low rate of attrition," Tech Mahindra Vice Chairman Vineet Nayyar said.

The company has facilities across Noida, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Pune and Mumbai.

"This fully operational facility is a new addition to Tech Mahindra's operations in the northern region and we look forward to servicing our esteemed clients across the globe from this new campus," he added.
