Business solutions provider, Genpact Ltd, will be hiring about 10,000 professionals in 2016, including 3,000 in Hyderabad.
It is also likely to set up a new centre in India in addition to the existing four at Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Kolkata and Bengaluru.
This was disclosed by Amit Bhaskar, VP & Head - Financial Services Analytics, Genpact, at a press conference in Hyderabad on December 7.
He said a memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been inked with ICFAI Business School (IBS), Hyderabad to develop an analytics and research programme for its students.
The location of the proposed new centre has not been decided.
Referring to the MoU, Bhaskar said there was huge demand and supply gap in analytics. Genpact alone hires 1,400 to 1,500 in analytics every year globally, he said.
As part the understanding, experts from Genpact will train students of MBA at IBS to specialise in analytics. "Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be eligible for employment in analytics practice at Genpact,” he said, adding that they however, will have to undergo regular selection process of the company.
In the next 12 months, Genpact is also planning to forge more partnerships with academic institutions in the UK, US and Australia, among others.
According to S Venkata Seshaiah, Director, IBS, the partnership will help students to understand industry happenings and make them ready to take up challenging jobs.
