Enabled through a government-backed MoU; the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) facility in Jaipur will create 500+ tech jobs
Manpreet Singh, an industry veteran with experience at top global tech firms, will lead BOT's global debut and drive its next-gen GDC vision
JAIPUR, India, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- BOT Consulting, a next-generation venture studio for Global Delivery Centers (GDCs), has announced its foray into the Indian market with its new SEZ facility in Jaipur. Spread in 2.5 acres, the 250+ seater delivery center at Mahindra World City, Jaipur will create over 500+ high-quality tech jobs in the region. Backed by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Rajasthan signed on 10th Nov. 2024, further cements Jaipur's reputation as India's emerging hub for innovation, talent, and digital infrastructure.
This expansion forms the foundation for BOT's vision of building sustainable, high-performance delivery ecosystems in Tier 2 cities that are ready for global transformation.
As a Venture Studio for GDCs, BOT offers a distinctive model that enables global tech firms to scale in India. Its approach combines the benefits of SEZs, AI-led operations, and a strong values-driven culture to deliver enterprise-grade solutions with the agility of a startup, minus the complexities of traditional outsourcing.
Driving this new chapter of growth is Manpreet Singh, a former executive at Salesforce and Wipro, who joins BOT as CEO. With over two decades of experience in building and scaling cloud-tech and consulting GDCs to successful exits, Manpreet brings a culture-first, innovation-forward leadership style that will accelerate BOT's global ambitions.
Speaking at the event, Manpreet Singh, CEO, BOT Consulting said, "At BOT, we're not just building delivery centers, we're building ecosystems of talent, culture, and capability that scale with our clients. Our model is designed for speed, resilience, and long-term alignment, and the success of partners like Cloudsmith and Hakkoda is a testament to that vision. As we expand, our focus remains clear: to enable global tech firms to grow with agility, purpose, and impact."
"This is not outsourcing. This is asset-building. We're creating modern, scalable delivery centers that are tightly aligned to global companies' cultures and performance goals. Jaipur, with its incredible talent and infrastructure, is ready to lead this global shift. BOT's integrated approach transforms delivery centers from cost-driven extensions into innovation-ready hubs that contribute directly to core business value," he further added.
BOT's partners are reporting faster go-to-market outcomes, cultural cohesion, and high levels of operational performance through their India delivery centers. "BOT Consulting has helped accelerate Cloudsmith's growth by establishing a high-performance software engineering and technical support center in Jaipur. Their ability to attract talent and scale up with us have enhanced our operational efficiency and delivered exceptional time-to-value. We are believers in Jaipur emerging as a powerhouse for world-class tech talent. We plan to keep scaling up based on BOT's strong culture and performance," said Glenn Weinstein, CEO of Cloudsmith.
Echoing the sentiment, Erik Duffield, CEO of Hakkoda (an IBM Company), added, "BOT Consulting has been a great Global Delivery Center partner in building out our team in Jaipur. Their support has enabled us to build an amazing team with speed and in tune with Hakkoda's culture, training, and structure."
BOT's operating model is designed to solve the biggest challenges in global delivery—delays in ramp-up, talent attrition, and misaligned cultures—by embedding agility and ownership from day one. AI-native talent acquisition, intensive onboarding, and robust governance allow operational readiness within weeks. With a high retention rate, driven by a strong emphasis on cultural integration and employee well-being, BOT ensures continuity and quality at scale.
Through partnerships with institutions like SKIT and LNMIIT, BOT is also nurturing Rajasthan's next generation of tech professionals, with 25% of its workforce drawn from local engineering colleges. The company's Śrī Initiative, its CSR platform, drives community engagement across education and environmental causes—strengthening the social fabric around its operations and deepening its roots in the region.
BOT's emergence is more than a business expansion, it's a strategic blueprint for how global delivery can be reimagined with purpose, precision, and long-term value.

Ontario woman distressed Purolator lost her passport. She was offered $100 gift card as goodwill gesture
Début du widget Widget. Passer le widget ? Fin du widget Widget. Retourner au début du widget ? A London, Ont., woman says Purolator lost her former Indian passport while it was en route to a consulate office in Brampton, and after months of not being able to locate it, the courier service closed her case and offered her a $100 Amazon gift card for the inconvenience. Jaya Chevendra, 62, said the document had legal and sentimental value, and its loss has jeopardized her plans of retiring in India and having citizenship rights. She said she turned down the gift certificate offer, and believes Purolator's financial compensation dodges accountability for the distress caused by the error. There was no extension of wanting to help make this right in any shape or form, except throw a few dollars at me because I was out a few dollars, she said. The financial portion is irrelevant in this case. It is a critical document and I have no other document that would replace it. In early 2024, Chevendra — who was born in India and has been a Canadian citizen for decades — applied for an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) that allows her benefits including the ability to open a bank account and buy property in India, which does not allow dual citizenship. To obtain an OCI, she had to surrender the Indian passport issued to her in 1980. She sent it to BLS India Visa Application Centre's Brampton office using Canada Post's registered mail service, which ensures a signature upon delivery, a mailing receipt and tracking information. BLS sent it back to her, stating it doesn't accept packages from Canada Post and directed Chevendra to use Purolator instead. In September, Chevendra created an OCI application for a friend and sent off both passports together through Purolator. Her friend's package was delivered by Oct. 2, but Chevendra's was last seen in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke and couldn't be tracked after that. Missing packages 'rare occurrence,' says Purolator BLS couldn't be reached for comment, but its website says Purolator is its third-party logistics company and its system platform is integrated with BLS to track any Application's Life Cycle Status from 'Receiving at BLS' to 'Delivery from BLS.' The website said BLS cannot track applications coming through other mail services. In a statement to CBC News, Purolator said it cannot comment on individual customers' packages, but once a customer reaches out to its support team, Purolator initiates a trace investigation and searches its facilities. If a package still isn't found, customers can start a claims process. Purolator makes every effort to ensure that packages are delivered on time. However, issues do at times arise, either because of the way the shipment is tendered by the shipper or during the delivery process, which can prevent a package from being successfully delivered, the statement said. While it is a very rare occurrence, we sincerely regret when a package goes missing. After this article was published, a Purolator representative contacted CBC News to say the gift card was offered as a gesture of goodwill. For months, Chevendra said, she followed up with both BLS and Purolator, but neither company had any idea where the package went. She said she wrote a letter to Purolator expressing concern and asking for more support to help find her passport. There's a lot of identifying information about me, my address, my signature is on every single document in that envelope, and so I'm really concerned about identity theft. I stated my concern about that and it was not addressed in their letter back to me, she said. It's appalling that they can be so dismissive of something so important. They took responsibility for that package when they accepted the money and said they would deliver it. They failed to deliver it and I don't feel they're doing nearly enough to make it right. Chevendra showed CBC an email thread with a Purolator customer relations employee, who apologized to her and explained the company's thorough search, which included a check of its records dating back to September 2024 and BLS's records using her Indian passport, but to no avail. The employee acknowledged Chevendra's frustration and offered to cover the cost of her $51 bank draft, plus a $100 Amazon gift card as a gesture of apology. Shipping important documents 'always risky': expert In using courier services, there's always a chance items can go missing, despite signed contracts and regulations, according to Ken Whitehurst, executive director of Consumers Council of Canada, a volunteer non-profit. Transferring a document that is unique is always going to be risky because things will go wrong in any system that's large scale with documents, he said. The decline of in-person customer services means more people are left to figure out next steps on their own, said Whitehurst, calling it a buyer beware world, with increasing risks. As people flock to convenience, governments reduce their service locations and don't have to offer them face-to-face services, but ultimately that can prove very problematic because of exactly this kind of situation where there's a loss of custody of something very important, he said. Customers in contracts can take action based on the terms or conditions for delivery and compensation for non-delivery. They can also look into taking the merchant to small claims court to seek damages, said Whitehurst. In Chevendra's case, she's calling on Purolator and BLS to locate her passport or find an alternative way for her to get her an OCI. They need to make it right and that means they need to talk to higher-ups and do all the running around because at this point, I don't know what to do. They're the ones that have my passport — it has to be somewhere. Isha Bhargava (new window) · CBC News

B.C. Premier David Eby says it will be a busy summer as he reflects on past 8 months
B.C. Premier David Eby says it has been an 'eventful' period for British Columbians since he was re-elected in October. 'What we set out during the election campaign, which was in advance of the (Donald) Trump election, has shifted quite dramatically in terms of where we have to be,' Eby told Global News in a one-on-one interview. 'And so the focus has been on ensuring that B.C. can assume the role that we have assumed now, which is to be the economic engine for the country.' Eby said that while his government did not provide a $1,000 grocery rebate to residents, they did remove the carbon tax, as promised. 'The focus of our government has been ensuring that we're bringing the most vulnerable along, but the group of people that really feels pressure has expanded,' Eby added.

One of the big issues still facing Eby's government is housing. 'Rents are unacceptably high, which is why we continue to push on housing, why we're buying land around transit stations to build more rental housing, why we are giving direct support to more seniors through the Safer Programme so they can afford rent,' he said. 'The work needs to continue. The good news is we're finally pointing in the right direction. Rents are coming down. We've had eight months of decreases overall, we're the only province that's seen that. But we have to continue doing the work because they are too high.' 2:02 B.C. premier wants Ottawa to declare Indian gang a terrorist organization As summer gets underway, Eby said there is still a lot of work to be done. Story continues below advertisement 'First of all, it's advancing the economic work with the federal government, with the other provinces, whether it's corridors, internal trade, building major projects, ensuring that British Columbians have access to good jobs, as we see the direct attack on sectors like our forest sector here in British Columbia,' he said. 'The second is, I am hopeful we won't, but I am worried that we might see a significant wildfire season again, so supporting British Columbians through that, if we have to have large-scale evacuations like Manitoba and Ontario have had to do. 'The third, and I think a critical piece, is we have to continue to advance the work on a variety of other fronts, ensuring that our health-care system is strong.'
