NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2007--WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of offshore business process outsourcing (BPO) services, today announced three senior executive appointments that will drive the continued growth and development of the company including the promotion of Anup Gupta to Group Chief Operating Officer responsible for managing the operating performance of the company; the appointment of Eric Selvadurai as the Managing Director and leader of WNS's European business; and Sulakshana Patankar as the CEO of the newly carved out Finance and Accounting Business Unit.

WNS also announced today that Zubin Dubash, who has served as Group Chief Financial Officer for the past three years, will be leaving WNS on December 1, 2007, to pursue a career in private equity. The company has begun a search for a new CFO. "We would like to thank Zubin for his efforts in helping us build WNS to where it is today. We are currently conducting a CFO search, and with the strong team backing Zubin and the sufficient notice period from him, we are confident the transition will be seamless," said Neeraj Bhargava, Group Chief Executive Officer of WNS.

Mr. Gupta was most recently CEO of WNS Travel Services, which under his leadership increased revenue by four times in a span of three years, delivered a strong operating performance, and developed a wide range of innovative and profitable service lines. He will continue to lead Travel Services until a new CEO is appointed. Prior to joining WNS in 2002, he was a Principal at eVentures India, a News Corp. and SoftBank backed-venture fund, and also a consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton. Mr. Gupta's promotion to Group COO follows the appointments last month of two seasoned executives to WNS Travel Services.

Mr. Selvadurai, as the new Managing Director and leader of the WNS European business (including Continental Europe), is taking over from Steve Dunning, a company co-founder, who will have a senior advisory role and will work closely with Mr. Selvadurai to further expand the UK and European business of WNS. Most recently, Mr. Selvadurai was CEO of WNS Enterprise Services, the company's fastest growing business last year, and has also managed some of the company's largest UK client relationships. Prior to joining WNS in 2002, Mr. Selvadurai was a senior executive in the UK with Hays plc, a FTSE 250 B2B services company.

WNS's Enterprise Services Business Unit is being restructured to create two Business Units, one focused on Finance & Accounting (F&A) and the other on Industrial Goods & Infrastructure industries. Ms. Patankar takes over the growth and P&L responsibility for the F&A Business Unit and WNS will in due course appoint a new CEO for the Industrial Goods & Infrastructure Business Unit. Ms. Patankar is a founding member of the company's highly-rated F&A practice. She also launched the WNS operations in Pune, India, currently the company's largest operating location. Previously, Ms. Patankar was a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers.

"WNS is pleased to announce the appointment of Anup to Group COO, a natural progression for him, given his stellar track record. This move will allow me to focus on accelerating growth, and shape other strategic initiatives. We are also pleased to see the new and expanded roles of Eric and Sulakshana who have had fantastic careers at WNS and have played key roles in growing the company. We would also like to thank Steve for the vital role he has played in shaping our Travel and UK businesses, and we are glad that he will be assisting Eric in his new role. Our business fundamentals continue to be strong, and we are confident that the new appointments of Anup, Eric and Sulakshana will be an important part of the continued growth and evolution of WNS", Bhargava added.
