[BPO Business Intelligence]

HINDUJA TMT Ltd. (HTMT) has announced the opening of an eight-million
dollar outsourcing facility in the Philippines, officials told
reporters in Manila.
The local operation, HTMT Philippines, is a result of an acquisition of
firms C-Cubed and SourceOne, Ramkrishan Hinduja, co-chairman of the
HTMT said.

HTMT came to the Philippines three years ago after it decided to buy
into C-Cubed, Hinduja said.

The C-Cubed facility now employs 2,400 agents for 2,000 seats, the
executive said.

It will handle in-bound calls for mainly American clients, Hinduja
added.

HTMT is also involved in other businesses, including technology and
telecommunications, but the co-chairman stressed that the group's
business is now moving towards the fast-growing outsourcing industry.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will inaugurate the local facility
which is located at the HTMT Cyberpark in E. Rodriguez Jr Ave., Quezon
City on Saturday.
