 INFOSYS SHUTS BANGKOK BPO

BANGALORE: Infosys Technologies has closed down its BPO centre in Bangkok due to inability to scale up operations.

"It was sub-scale. It had around 50 employees and most of the work from the centre had been transferred to other centres," Infoys CEO S Gopalakrishnan told reporters on the sidelines of the national council meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industry here.

Infosys had taken over the back-office operations of Philips Global located in Poland, Thailand and India in July 2007. The three centres together hired around 1,400 employees.

The employees in the remaining centres would continue to operate from their respective centres, the company said.
