More Jobs In AsiaTown It Park As PeopleSupport's New Building Opens


Aegis People Support just launched their new building in Asiatown IT Park. It will seat 3000 reps, making them again one of the leading global outsourcing companies.


According to Inquirer -- Rajiv Ahuja, Aegis People Support president for Asean and ANZ, said they aim to increase manpower by 50% as soon as phase 2 is finished.

“We have about 4,000 people in Cebu. We hope to add 2,000 more when the tower is finished,” Ahuja said in a press conference Monday.

The BPO has close to 12,000 employees in the country based in three delivery centers in Metro Manila, Baguio and Cebu. By year end, it expects to  have 15,000 employees.

The tower alone is  an investment of P2B – P1.5B for the building and P500 million for three lots purchased in the Ayala-managed IT park.

It's amazing how the BPO industry is still expected to grow by 15% annually over the next 5 years, bringing in approximately $270 billion


“At present, there are 600,000 people in the country working for outsourcing companies. We need to be able to sustain the supply because we might end up hiring people from other companies, which will put a pressure on the economic index,”  said Aegis People Support managing director and chief executive officer Aparup Sengupta.
