An all women business and technology park (WBP) has been inaugurated by IT major Saudi Aramco worked as the strategic advisor and anchor of WBP, which is a JV of PNU (world's largest university for women) and
"Dedicated to working women, this business park is a first of its kind project aimed at providing knowledge-based employment for women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," it added.
This park is expected to be the largest engineering drafting services, business process services and IT hub in the entire region for industry sectors, which include oil and gas, government, manufacturing, healthcare, telecom and construction.
However, this is not the first of its kind, given that Wipro's larger rival TCS has already established its first all-women Business Process Services (BPS) centre in Riyadh in 2013, where 1,000 women work in BPO operations, amongst whom 85% are Saudi nationals.
