Chennai, Nov 19 : Leading US-based IT and BPO services provider, Technosoft Global Services today opened its new facility, the largest in India, at the DLF IT park.

The new facility, spread over 20,000 sq ft with an initial investment of Rs two million, was inaugurated by US Consul General in Chennai, Andrew Simkin.

Talking to reporters, Technosoft CEO Rajiv Tandon and founder Chairman G Radhakrishnan said this was the second facility in Chennai and the third in India. The company would further invest another Rs two to three million in this facility, which would have a head count of 600, taking its total strength to 1,600 by the end of next year.
