On 17 April 2024, IT Park Uzbekistan reported that Upstream BPO planned to establish a new office in the Syrdarya region of Uzbekistan. The article described meetings with Ahmed Qayyum and framed the initiative as part of Upstream's expansion in Central Asia.
Because this was official external reporting rather than an Upstream-issued press release, the newsroom presents it as such. The source discussed expansion intent, planned functions and local talent-development conversations. It did not provide completed delivery outcomes, so none are added here.
What the official report said
The IT Park publication described plans for a new Syrdarya office and linked the initiative to business functions including personnel management, financial technologies, cybersecurity and general business process outsourcing. It also referred to meetings focused on specialist training and local hiring pipelines.
Those details matter because they show the expansion being discussed in operational terms rather than as a vague geographic reference.
Why this was an expansion story, not a results story
The April 2024 source sits at the planning and launch-intent stage. It is appropriate evidence for expansion discussions and local operating plans. It is not evidence of later job creation totals, final office scale or long-term commercial outcomes.
This summary therefore keeps to what was verified at the time:
- a planned Syrdarya office
- a Central Asia expansion direction
- BPO-related and adjacent business functions under discussion
- coordination around local talent development and recruitment
What this means in the broader company timeline
Viewed alongside later official reporting from February 2025, the April 2024 item reads as the early public marker in Upstream's Uzbekistan development path. It shows how the initiative was introduced before later reporting described commenced operations and additional employment plans.
Readers looking for current capability context can review About Upstream, the Trust Centre and the later employment expansion follow-up.
A dated public expansion signal
This item records a specific official report from 17 April 2024 about Upstream BPO's planned Syrdarya office and Central Asia expansion direction.
It should be read as an external expansion report, not as a claim that all later outcomes were already complete on that date.
