The state-of-the-art facility is spread over 200,000 sq ft. 24/7 Customer will hire over 2,000 professionals to offer services in life and motor insurance. This is the second facility that 24/7 Customer has established in Chennai. It has a 50,000 sq ft., dedicated delivery centre with a capacity of 500 seats, that services other Global 1000 clients.
