Professional services firm’s expansion to create 300 jobs

Genpact invests in its Glasgow operations

More than 300 jobs are to be created over the next five years by a global professional services firm which is expanding its European operations in Scotland.

The new jobs at Genpact will be in digital solutions, risk management, insurance claims, business process transformation, and customer service.

The investment is supported by a £3.1 million Regional Selective Assistance grant from Scottish Enterprise.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited the firm’s Glasgow base yesterday.

Genpact has around 165 employees in Scotland, who specialise in wealth management servicing and digital platforms for financial services companies.

“Expanding our presence in Scotland with this strong government partnership advances our strategy of strengthening both our onshore delivery and digital solutions capabilities,” Mohit Thukral, senior vice-president and business leader, banking, financial services and insurance at Genpact, said.

“Our planned expansion will further leverage these benefits as we drive more digital-led transformation business impact for our clients.”

The company has a presence in more than 20 countries.

Paul Lewis, managing director of international operations at Scottish Enterprise, said: “We are pleased to be supporting Genpact’s investment in Scotland and delighted the company has chosen Glasgow for its prestigious European expansion project.

“The company joins the growing number of investors who are choosing Scotland for ambitious expansion projects and we look forward to working closely with Genpact as it establishes this new facility.”
