CCI Global, a continental outsourcing firm has expanded its footprint in Kenya, setting an advanced Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) call centre at Tatu City.

Speaking during the commissioning of the call centre officiated by President William Ruto, the firm committed to double CCI Kenya’s call centre workforce to 10,000.

These roles span a spectrum of positions, from call centre agents to managerial roles, solidifying Kenya’s status as a premier hub for Business Process Outsourcing.

Rishi Jatania, CEO of CCI Kenya, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the region, stating,

“This launch represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide top-tier BPO services while contributing to Kenyaโ€™s socio-economic development. We believe in the potential of this region and are excited to set the gold standard for BPO operations in Africa,โ€™โ€™ CCI Kenya CEO Rishi Jatania said.

The launch took place during the esteemed Elevate Africa Conference, a three-day event at Tatu City, uniting industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders from around the world-themed “The Next Chapter of Innovationโ€.

At the heart of CCIโ€™s expansion lies a $50 million investment in CCI Tatu City’s development, reflecting a portion of CCI Global’s $ 150 million investment in Kenya since 2016.

With a track record of investments exceeding $2 billion across Africa since 2006, CCI reaffirms its dedication to driving economic empowerment on a continental scale.

โ€œWith the right management, technology, international access and enabling ecosystem, Kenyan BPO workers excel on a global scale.โ€

Developed byย GREA as part of the ENEO development,ย the centre will operate almost exclusively on 96 per cent renewable energy โ€“ with solar panels to be installed, natural air corridors, and self-shading walls to almost totally mitigate the Co2 emissions involved in the call centreโ€™s energy production and consumption.
