Today and Tomorrow
At the turn of the millennium, India has numerous reasons to smile about. The economy is no longer passive and redundant; on the contrary it is one that is being steered by the winds of social and economic changes. During the past few years, the country has seen phenomenal developments in its political, social and economic infrastructure, accelerated by the strong forces of globalization and Information Technology. A country with a resurgent, progressive economy; India can be rightly called the foster-child of globalization.
The booming Information Technology (IT) segment comprising ITES (IT-enabled services) / BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) are the core sectors that have driven the country into the epicenter of change. The liberalization of the Indian Telecom sector in 1994 gave an unexpected boost to the ITES/BPO industry. In no time, India has turned into a hot destination for global offshore outsourcing companies. The expansion in this sector can be attributed to the leading IT giants, captive players and third party service providers, who dominate the Indian ITES/BPO market. While the countries around the world are vying for a fair share of the cake, India has grabbed the pie as the preferred destination for offshore outsourcing. Indeed, India is shining!
