UIDAI suspends contract with Conneqt, move to impact 800 employees

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is learnt to have abruptly suspended its contract with a BPO company Conneqt, and this is likely to impact over 800 employees who are working on the project.

A spokesperson for Conneqt told BusinessLine: “These are difficult times for companies across sectors, ours included. If our clients are impacted it has an adverse impact on us as well. We are in discussion with the client and we are hopeful that we will have a favourable response from them, for our people.”

UIDAI had entered into a three-year contract with Conneqt to manage the Aadhaar applicants through call and e-mail support.
