“We aim to leverage the centre to serve its clients in the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) segment in a much more enhanced way by offering customised solutions.

At present, the centre is 400 seater and we are planning to double the head count within two years," said, George Paul, executive vice-president, HCL Infosystems.
