WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global
business process outsourcing services, today announced that it will
expand its operations in Manila in response to increasing demands
from its clients. During his visit to the WNS Philippines center,
Keshav Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS Global Services announced that the
Manila center will be a hub for offering voice and data services to
its clients from the banking and financial services industry, and
to those based in the APAC region.
“WNS’ delivery center in Manila began by offering contact center
services to global clients across various industries, and has now
expanded operations to offer a range of services, including finance
and accounting and analytics,” said Murugesh, during his visit to
the WNS site in Metro Manila, which began its operations in 2008.
“Considering the quality of talent available in the country and the
demand for our services, we believe that 10 percent of WNS’
workforce could be based in the Philippines over the next few
years,” he added.
“We are extremely committed to growing our delivery centers in
the Philippines and have increased our capacity by 300 seats to
cater to the growing demand. We are excited with the quality of
talent in this country and the ability to deliver superior services
to our customers from this region,” said Prabhakar Bisen, CEO of
WNS Philippines.
Speaking about the reasons for the selecting the Philippines as
an outsourcing destination, Murugesh said, “The Philippines was an
obvious choice as a delivery center for WNS as it provides us
access to a large pool of high-quality talent, specially
voice-based. 350,000 college graduates pass out from various
universities in the Philippines every year, and 65,000 chartered
accountants clear the Board." "The Philippines has also been
recognized as the third largest English-speaking nation in the
world with a high literacy rate of 94%,” he added.
The other international WNS sites are located in Costa Rica,
Romania, Sri Lanka, India and U.K.
