India-based BPOs to transfer operations to Davao, PH

More multinational Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies from India are looking to relocate their operations to Davao City as the surge of COVID-19 Delta variant cases continues in the South Asian country.
According to President of the BPO Association of Davao Xavier Eric Manalastas, the BPO industry in the province has received inquiries from prospective investors who are looking to relocate and expand their services.
He commented on the relocations saying, “Because of what happened to India, some of the work has shifted to the Philippines. We hope it did not have to happen that it caused the demand to go up.”
Manalastas noted that the city already has around 50 BPO businesses with a total number of workers estimated at 45,000 to 50,000.
