MUMBAI: HCL Technologies business process outsourcing arm, HCL BPO, might soon have a new CEO. The firm’s global head for sales, Raj Sirohi, is expected to take over as CEO of the software company’s BPO operations, sources in the know told ET. Mr Sirohi takes over from Sujit Bakshi, who quit to join another Gurgaon-based BPO firm vCustomer in September last year.


In another move, HCL Technologies’ North America president for the BPO division, Saurav Adhikari, is likely to move to India and would handle corporate strategy and marketing at group CEO Shiv Nadar’s office, sources said.

Though HCL BPO has had its senior management in place, the firm did not formally appoint a CEO to spearhead its operations after Mr Bakshi’s exit. At present, Ranjit Narasimhan is the COO of HCL BPO and Mr Sirohi, the global head for sales. HCL BPO is in the process of building a capacity of a little under 3,000 seats in India.

The firm has three centres in Noida with around 1,800 seats, of which close to 600 are operational. The rest are in various stages of completion and are expected to be functional soon.


It may be recalled that the parent company, HCL Technologies, bagged a $160m contract from British Telecom last year, perhaps the largest BPO contract received by any Indian firm. A significant portion of BT’s work has been moved to India. The BPO firm undertakes accounts receivable and payable management services, and technical help-desks for customers in banking, financial services, telecom, technology and retail businesses.

The company shares a close relationship with BT. During December ’01, it formed a joint venture with BT by acquiring the latter’s 90% stake in Apollo contact centre, Belfast. The acquisition helped HCL offer multi-lingual services.

In case you can take some time out of your schedule, please enlighten us with your thoughts on the prospects of IT industry in the current scenario when there is a sense of insecurity among US citizens and the heat the ODC concept is creating among US political circles.
