Gangtok, June 17: In a boost to employment generation in the state, Sikkim got its first-ever BPO unit on Wednesday.
IT company Humsay Global Services Ltd will handle work outsourced from Canada and USA.
"Around 30-40 percent of the BPO employees in India are from the north-east and our idea of starting a BPO in Sikkim is to take employment right to the doorsteps of the north-eastern states like Sikkim," company official Anil Joshi said here at the inauguration of the BPO unit.
Sikkim's lone Lok Sabha MP Prem Das Rai, who is also an IIT student, said that the peaceful atmosphere, uninterrupted power supply and the soon-to-be-solved connectivity issues will make the state an ideal destination for the IT industry
