Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services, India's largest software exporter, opened Saudi Arabia's first all-female BPO centre, which will provide employment to up to 3,000 women in three years.

Saudi Aramco and GE are the centre's first customers, TCS said in a statement in Mumbai. Both the clients have already surpassed their targets of recruiting 100 women each, while the total number of those employed at the centre stands at 300, it said.

The Riyadh-based 3,200 square-metre facility will offer customers specialised finance and accounting, human resources, materials supply and office services to improve their operational efficiency, it said. The centre was announced in September last year.
