On 8 February 2025, IT Park Uzbekistan published a business-forum update that included a focused section on Upstream BPO's activity in Syrdarya. The report stated that Upstream had commenced operations in Syrdarya in 2024 and had already generated more than 80 employment opportunities.
The same source also said that Upstream had formalised a memorandum of cooperation with the Syrdarya Regional Administration and outlined plans for an additional 100 jobs. Those two numbers should be read carefully: the source described 80-plus jobs as already created and a further 100 as planned, not as already delivered.
What the official February 2025 report confirmed
Reported status versus planned status
| Item | How the source described it |
|---|---|
| Operations in Syrdarya | Commenced in 2024 |
| Employment created | Over 80 jobs, according to IT Park Uzbekistan |
| Regional cooperation | Memorandum of cooperation formalised with the Syrdarya Regional Administration |
| Further hiring | Additional 100 jobs planned |
That distinction is central to accurate reporting. A newsroom that collapses created and planned jobs into one total would be overstating the public source.
Why the distinction matters
Expansion updates often blend current operating facts with forward-looking plans. Buyers, media readers and local stakeholders need those categories kept separate. In this case, the source supports two different claims: one about what had already been achieved by the time of reporting, and one about what the next stage aimed to add.
Claim boundary
This newsroom article does not say that 180-plus jobs had already been created. The source supports 80-plus created and an additional 100 planned.
What this update adds to the broader Uzbekistan timeline
The February 2025 report moves the public story beyond launch intent. Earlier official reporting had discussed the planned Syrdarya office and the functions expected to be supported there. This later report instead described the initiative as active and linked it to formalised local cooperation and continued growth plans.
For readers tracking Upstream's company development, that makes this the clearest public follow-up on the Uzbekistan initiative currently available through official reporting.
A follow-up expansion report with clearer operating detail
This is the strongest current public source for Upstream BPO's Uzbekistan follow-up because it distinguishes between commenced operations, jobs already created and jobs still planned.
Readers who want the earlier planning-stage context can review the April 2024 Syrdarya expansion report or the broader company profile.
