Posted by Sawantwadi: Varanium Cloud, a digital technology company, opened its second office and BPO centre in the coastal taluka of Sawantwadi, Maharastra state. The new BPO centre will create 200 IT jobs for the local youth workforce in the Sindhudurg district and will focus on activities such as data accounting, background verification and debt recovery amongst others.
The NSE-listed company aims to bridge the great urban and rural digital divide by generating employment opportunities for local talent.
BPO Industry in India
Currently pegged at $37.6 billion, India’s BPO industry is projected to reach $55.5 billion by 2025. The sector is witnessing a significant shift toward Tier II and Tier III cities, in the aftermath of COVID-19. The pandemic has increased the potential of remote work, leading to a boom in outsourcing services to smaller cities.
Varanium leverages its innovative phy-gital infrastructure, utilising technologies such as Hydra, to establish high-compute, cost-effective BPO operations in non-urban areas. It also plans to expand its presence in Konkan, establishing a web of edge data centres and ed-tech centres to enhance access and skill-building capacities for the youth.
“As a company, Varanium Cloud wants to break the trend of individuals from small towns migrating to cities in pursuit of employment. Our new BPO centre strives to provide job opportunities for the youth in the Konkan region,” said Harshawardhan Sabale, MD – Varanium Cloud Ltd.
“We want to invest in local talent and infrastructure and contribute to the growth and prosperity in Sindhudurg. Going forward, we want to penetrate our operations further to non-metro areas creating sustainable employment opportunities for local talent,” added Sabale.
