France’s Teleperformance signed a $185 million (roughly Rs. 697 crore) deal with Microsoft to launch its proprietary TP GenAI, the outsourcing group said on Tuesday, ahead of its artificial intelligence investor day.
Teleperformance will host on Wednesday a virtual meeting with its AI experts to let investors peek behind the curtains of its efforts in the AI race.
The company claims generative AI — algorithms such as ChatGPT that can be used to create new content including audio, text and simulations — will boost efficiency, accuracy and customer experience.

As digital developments are rapidly changing the call centre industry, Teleperformance appointed on Monday its president of transformation Bhupender Singh as deputy chief executive.
This follows the agreement to buy rival Majorel for EUR 3 billion (roughly Rs. 26 crore) in April, which will make it the sector’s top actor with annual revenue of EUR 12 billion (roughly Rs. 1,07,514 crore).
Teleperformance said at the time that it predicts that 20 percent to 30 percent of its processes will be automated within the next three years.
