WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global
business process outsourcing services, has been honored with the
prestigious Maharashtra State IT Award 2010 in the Special Category
by the Directorate of Industries, Government of Maharashtra.
Honorable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Mr. Ashok Chavan,
presented the award, at a function held in Mumbai on Friday, August
20, 2010.
WNS was recognized for its center in Nasik, where the company
has generated employment for over 1000 people in a tier II city,
Nashik, in India.
"We are honored to be bestowed with this esteemed award and are
grateful to the Government of Maharashtra for the encouragement by
recognizing our efforts. The efforts by State Government of
Maharashtra to promote the IT/ITES industry in the state have been
instrumental in the growth of our company. WNS started its
operations in Mumbai in 1996 and soon was able to expand its
operations to other cities in the state - Pune and Nasik," said
Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS Global Services. "WNS recognized
the issues arising out of a large concentration of BPO units in
Tier-I cities early on and setup operations in Nasik in 2004, where
a vast pool of talent is available."
The state of Maharashtra has instituted the 'Maharashtra
Information Technology Awards' to commemorate birth anniversary of
the late Prime Minister of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi. The awards are
presented each year, on the Information Technology day - August 20,
aimed at felicitating companies in the State of Maharashtra for
their contribution and outstanding performance during the year. The
effort is toward promoting entrepreneurship, IT/ITES industry
development and employment in the state.
