PUNE, India, March 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRGX Global, Inc . (Nasdaq: PRGX ), the world's leading provider of recovery audit services and the pioneer in Profit Discovery ™, today shared its plans for the continued expansion of its India operations at a press meeting in Pune, India.
PRGX India provides recovery audit, analytics and information technology services to PRGX's global operations. Its Pune office was formally inaugurated in July 2010. PRGX's Indian operation also acts as an incubator for innovations in service delivery that benefit the Company's client teams around the world.
"PRGX has an unrivaled global footprint in the recovery audit industry and is well positioned to serve an increasingly global set of markets and clients. Our Pune operations represent an important component of our global service delivery capabilities," said Ron Stewart, PRGX president and CEO.
"The establishment of PRGX India has also helped educate Indian retailers on the benefits of recovery audit services," added Tushar Sachdev, CIO and SVP of shared services of PRGX.
Although a routine practice in the United States and Europe, recovery audit is not as common in India, but given the high transaction volumes and complexities inherent in retailers' procure-to-pay operations, Indian retailers have the same opportunities to recover profits from overpayments to vendors as do retailers in other parts of the world.
Mr. Stewart continued, "Our India operations have grown rapidly over the past three years, with now close to 300 employees. PRGX hopes to continue to attract top Indian talent as we expect to expand and grow the Pune center over the coming years."
"The talent requirement for PRGX India is aligned with PRGX's core business needs. The workforce will consist of experienced accounting graduates, experienced IT professionals, and analysts," concluded Mr. Sachdev.
