It has received an in-principle clearance to set-up three special economic zones from the ministry of commerce in Bhopal, Bhubaneswar and Jaipur. Discussions are in advanced stages with the three state governments.

Genpact has also signed a lease and is beginning construction of a 1 million (10 lakh) square feet facility on a 12-acre plot within the IT SEZ being developed by DLF in Silokhera, Gurgaon (Haryana).

These planned expansions follow those made earlier this year in North Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Changchun (Genpact's second city of operations in China), Wroclaw (Poland) and Alabang (Philippines) outside Manila.

Pramod Bhasin, president & CEO of Genpact, said: "Our growth, which has been in excess of 20 per cent per annum over the last several years, is encouraging us to plan ahead and partner with state governments to identify expansion sites that will serve the larger Indian BPO/ ITES sector. These new facilities will offer exciting career and growth opportunities to the youth in these states."

Genpact is hiring in excess of 800 new employees a month in India. While hiring for the new facilities has already begun through Genpact's employment offices, the company will offer existing employees from its other centers the option to take a transfer to these facilities.

Genpact's current employee strength stands at 26,782 of which over 20,000 associates are based in India across Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Jaipur and Kolkata.
