India's
largest software exporter TCSBSE 0.38 % today said it has opened Saudi
Arabia's first all-female business process centre, which will provide
employment to up to 3,000 women in three years.
Saudi Aramco and GE are the centre's first customers, TCS said in a statement here.
Both
the clients have already surpassed their target of recruiting 100 women
each, while the total number of those employed at the centre stands at
300, it said.
The
Riyadh-based 3,200-sq mt facility will offer customers specialised
finance and accounting, human resources, materials supply and office
services to improve their operational efficiency, it said.
The
centre was announced in September last year. Saudi Arabia's Commerce
and Industry Minister Tawfiq bin Fawzan Al Rabiah, Deputy Governor of
Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority Prince Saud bin Khalid, Saudi
Aramco's President and Chief Executive Khalid Al Falih and GE's Vice
Chairmaan John Rice, were present on the occasion, the statement said.
