[dwarakesh]

Even as Satyam Computers received a fresh blow with US-based State Farm Insurance terminating its contract with it, leading to over 400 workers losing their jobs, Satyam BPO (formerly Nipuna Services) is recruiting fresh batches of employees for their various projects.

According to a senior executive, a "sizable" number of 50 people have been recruited this week for a project, which was in the pipeline for some time now.

"We are recruiting as per requirement for a particular new business which we have bagged recently," confirmed Manjula Manjotra, head of Global Marketing and Communications (GM&C), Satyam BPO Limited.

"According to the requirements of a client, who has given a new business order, a batch of freshers have been recruited by the company. The brand Satyam perhaps still sells. None of our clients have backed out," a senior employee of Satyam BPO said. Talks of the BPO arm of Satyam being up for sale have been doing the rounds and reportedly, Essar Group's outsourcing firm Aegis BPO is on the verge of approaching Satyam Computers for a possible buyout of its BPO operations.
