Infotech and BPO major Hinduja TMT has acquired Immaculate Interactions Ltd, a Bangalore-based outbound call centre, specialising in telemarketing. The financial details of the acquisition were not revealed.
This acquisition would enable HTMT to offer a comprehensive range of services to its customers, in addition to the existing inbound customer support, technical help desk and non-voice backoffice processing services, HTMT said in a release in Mumbai on Thursday.
This would also help the company to move closer to achieving a strong leadership position in the third party BPO space in India and worldwide, both in voice and non-voice segments, it said.
Immaculate has a presence in the UK and Australian markets, the acquisition is expected to complement HTMT's reach in English-speaking markets. Already, the company has a strong presence in North American markets.

This is the company's third acquisition, as earlier in October 2004, HTMT has acquired Source One Communications Inc of the US for $8.5 million. SOC has operations in New Jersey, Toronto in Canada and Manila in Philippines, through a subsidiary called Source One Communications Asia.
