NEW YORK, June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact (NYSE: G), a
global professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation, today announced a new multi-year agreement with
Mondelēz International (NASDAQ: MDLZ), a global snacking company and world leader in biscuits, chocolate, gum, candy, and

Building on a relationship that began in 2014 to transform Mondelēz International's finance organization into a strategic
growth lever, the expanded engagement allows the two companies to continue to co-innovate and drive faster, smarter insights from
finance data. Genpact supports Mondelēz International's global finance operations in 75 countries, delivering simplified and
