Start of Global BPO for PSA Warranty
MSXI Europe runs a BPO for global warranty operations of PSA Group. In order to build greater efficiencies, they have been exploring to move some of this operation to a lower cost market. We at Sewells MSXI India were also looking for a similar opportunity. We are happy to inform that we have started a new global warranty BPO based at Chennai that is in the process of taking over operations from MSXI Europe.
This will further strengthen our global relationship with PSA Group and mark the start of a new chapter for India.
We have hired 27 resources already. We will have a team of up to 40, all based at Chennai by end of this year.
This opens up lot of new opportunities with PSA global and PSA India as they are in the process of setting up local manufacturing and plan to launch Citroen brand in India.
This business is being headed by Himanshu Dhamesha with Srinivasa Raghavan as the Project Manager. We wish them all the best.
