[edit] History

After seeing the benefits of offshoring the Software services to India in 1995, GE started considering starting a captive outsourcing unit. So Genpact was established in 1997 by GE as an outsourcing unit to provide services from India[3].K.P. Singh influenced Jack Welch to choose Gurgaon as a location. Pramod Bhasin was the India head of G.E Capital and Raman Roy started GECIS It was called GE Capital International Services initially (GECIS). India was selected because it was considered to have an educated English speaking population fit for Call Centers and was also low on labor cost[1].

In the December 2004, GE announced that it has sold off its 60% stake in GECIS for $500 million to two equity companies, Oak Hill Capital Partners and General Atlantic Partners. Since then the company was renamed to Genpact[4].
