Warsaw : Taking advantage of a large pool of technically qualified young people here, Pune-based IT company Zensar has begun outsourcing services from Gdansk, the Baltic port city of Poland.
The new centre is going to create around 350 new jobs in Gdansk in the coming three years. Zensar is going to invest over $2 million initially, a development received very warmly by the city mayor.
The first batch of Polish recruits has been trained in Pune and other batches will be going soon from Gdansk for training.
The operation from Gdansk is the latest addition to Zenzar's global network of consulting and software development centres in the US, Japan, South Africa, Britain, China and India.
Indian Ambassador to Poland Anil Wadhwa said: "Zensar's operation will certainly create good business. Its presence in Poland will mark a new chapter in East European countries that have joined the European Union after April 2004."
Apart from Zensar, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has for the past two years been doing good business in Poland.
The Polish economy is the fastest growing in the European Union. Last year, it grew by six percent-the highest in the EU.
