  • Adds delivery locations in Davao, Manila and Taipei
  • Eyes opportunities to support foundation model and autonomous vehicle companies
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 April 2025 – TDCX, an award-winning digital customer experience (CX) solutions provider for technology and blue-chip companies, today announced its acquisition of Open Access BPO, a United States (US) headquartered outsourcing company. The acquisition strengthens TDCX’s ability to meet the growing demand for strategic outsourced services, with new locations in Davao, Manila and Taipei, as companies seek to leverage outsourcing to cope with the fast-changing business environment and tight labor market.

The global business process outsourcing (BPO) market is expected to hit US$491.53 billion by 2029, with Asia alone growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.9 per cent to become a US$109.92 billion industry by 2029[1]. The ability for BPO partners to deliver intelligent solutions with better insights and problem-solving for more complex issues makes it an attractive option for companies, increasing their agility and freeing them up to focus on core competitive business activities.

Mr. Laurent Junique, CEO and Founder, TDCX, said, “Business cycles are moving more quickly than ever. Strategic outsourcing is similarly evolving at a rapid pace. Companies at the forefront of leveraging strategic outsourcing see it as a critical driver for innovation, flexibility, and global expansion and our acquisition of Open Access BPO strengthens our ability to seize these opportunities. With our combined delivery locations and deepened expertise in verticals including fintech and healthtech, we will be able to create greater value for our colleagues and clients.

“This milestone is another step in our ambition to support the growth of the digital economy. Over the last two decades, we have been a key partner to many ‘born-digital’ companies as they scaled their operations. We now see a new wave of innovators and industries such as foundation model companies building artificial intelligence that can reason and generate human-like text, autonomous vehicle firms revolutionizing transportation and humanoid robotics companies creating intelligent machines for labor and logistics. Many of these barely existed a decade ago and we see great potential in supporting companies that are now shaping the future of technology and business.”

Mr. Ben Davidowitz, CEO, Open Access BPO, said, “The outsourced CX industry is poised for growth, driven by the increasing demand for personalized customer experiences and adoption of advanced technologies. By joining forces with TDCX, we open more options for our clients and have greater scale to compete on the global stage. Our employees will similarly benefit from the combined organization, given the strong cultural alignment and common desire to provide fulfilling careers for our people. I would like to take the opportunity to thank our employees for their outstanding work and dedication to our valued clients. Looking ahead, we are eager to leverage our strengths and further our passion for delivering exceptional CX.”

Both companies will continue to operate under their respective brands to ensure a seamless transition for employees, clients, and partners. Open Access BPO’s leadership, specifically Mr. Davidowitz, CEO, and Mr. Henry Chang, President and co-founder, will continue to serve as advisors. Joy Sebastian, Vice President of Global Operations at Open Access BPO, along with the rest of the leadership team, will continue to play a key role in managing operations to ensure a smooth transition for clients.

Baird acted as financial advisor to Open Access BPO, with Reed Smith LLP as its legal counsel. Clark Hill PLC served as legal advisor to TDCX.

Under the theme “Luxury, Elevated to a New Realm”, ZEEKR unveiled the global expansion strategy for its dual flagship 9-Series models — the ZEEKR 9X and ZEEKR 009 Grand.

As a key gateway connecting China with global markets, Hong Kong serves as an important benchmark for the premium automotive industry and a strategic platform for luxury brands expanding internationally. Launching the global strategy for the 9-Series in Hong Kong marks a significant new chapter in ZEEKR’s growth across the global premium new energy vehicle market.

In Hong Kong, ZEEKR has maintained strong momentum.

The ZEEKR 009 ranked as Hong Kong’s best-selling luxury MPV, while the ZEEKR 7X became the city’s best-selling luxury SUV.

The ZEEKR 9X, ZEEKR’s new global flagship of ultra-luxury SUV, is built on the SEA-S architecture and features a 900V high-performance silicon carbide electric drive system delivering more than 1,030 kW of maximum power. Four integrated safety structures combined with extensive use of 2,000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel contribute to a torsional rigidity rating of 41,600 N·m/deg, setting a new benchmark for safety in the hybrid SUV segment. The ZEEKR 9X recently opened pre-sales in the Middle East, where it has received strong market interest. The model is scheduled to expand into key markets across Latin America, Central Asia and Europe.

The ZEEKR 009 Grand, the brand’s global ultra-luxury four-seater flagship MPV, features a 720-degree comprehensive safety architecture and the world’s first integrated die-cast C-ring cabin structure, delivering segment-leading rear-seat protection. The second row is equipped with two ultra-soft aniline leather executive seats featuring 20 massage points and an industry-leading seven-zone graphene heating system, creating an exceptional luxury experience for rear passengers.

A Decade of Sharing the Flavors of China: ‘Chinese Restaurant’ Stays True to Its Mission Through Food and Culture

Published

on

CHANGSHA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 June 2026 – Carrying the warmth of everyday life and the richness of Chinese civilization, Chinese Restaurant embarks on a new chapter as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Marking this milestone, Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season makes its highly anticipated return, with partners Huang Xiaoming, Wang Junkai, Hannah Quinlivan (Kun Ling), Jiang Yan, Jin Mengjia, Zhang Yaqi, Lin Shuwei, and the rest of the team ready to begin a heartwarming journey through Southeast Asia. The new season will premiere on June 19, airing every Friday at 12:00 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Mango TV and at 10:00 p.m. on Hunan TV.

Over the past nine years, Chinese Restaurant has traveled across multiple countries and regions, including Thailand, France, Italy, and Hungary. Looking back on its journey of cultural exchange, the program launched a dedicated Chinese food truck in France, allowing local residents and visitors to conveniently experience authentic Chinese flavors. In Hungary, food served as a unique language that fostered deeper intercultural understanding. During the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Italy, the program actively responded to the Belt and Road Initiative, using cultural interaction and culinary exchange to strengthen friendship between the two nations.

Now, standing at the threshold of its second decade, Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season returns to Thailand, drawing upon the longstanding cultural, tourism, and people-to-people ties between China and Thailand. Through food and storytelling, the program once again brings Chinese culture to life on Southeast Asian soil.

The new season introduces an innovative business model inspired by traditional Chinese agricultural wisdom, creating a distinctive experience that combines pastoral ecology with the aesthetics of contemporary Chinese dining. New service concepts, including the “Chef’s Table” and “Chef at Home,” offer guests diverse culinary experiences while naturally integrating Chinese cuisine into everyday local life.

For ten years, Chinese Restaurant has remained committed to its original vision: telling authentic and heartfelt Chinese stories while showcasing the unique appeal of Chinese cuisine to global audiences. Through food, the program has helped narrow cultural distances, deepen international understanding, and highlight the confidence, vitality, and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.

The premiere episode of Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, as the seven partners begin a brand-new entrepreneurial adventure in Chiang Mai, Thailand. From unexpected operational challenges and cultural differences to the dynamic interactions among team members with diverse personalities, the journey promises a wealth of memorable moments and compelling stories for viewers.

Over the years, the Chinese Restaurant franchise has consistently used authentic Chinese cuisine as a bridge connecting people across cultures. Every dish reflects the traditions and warmth of Chinese daily life, while every shared meal conveys the spirit and values of Eastern culture. Set against real-world international backdrops, the program vividly presents the depth and richness of Chinese civilization.

Today, Chinese Restaurant is far more than a culinary reality show. It has become a platform for cultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and friendship between China and the world. Through the universal language of food, the program continues to bring people closer together, allowing Chinese flavors and Chinese stories to resonate across borders and leave a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
