The multi-million rupee IT Tower project will take about 2 years to complete after which it will be the biggest call center in the world, said City Nazim Mustafa Kamal.
The call center in Sydney is presently regarded as the biggest with 8,000 call seats but the IT Tower in Karachi will have 10,000 call seats under one roof. He stated this while talking to the media during a visit to the IT Expo 2008 on Sunday. Kamal said the City Government’s Toll Free 1339 number is unique world over. The CDGK has arranged training for the call centre with foreign instructors. The first batch of 7,500 trainees would soon be ready. The city government is spending nearly Rs 60,000 on each trainee.
