Quality of Service “When it comes to quality is perception reality?”
Language Skills • 333 million Indians speak English. • As a result, India has a large BPO industry. • The National Knowledge Commission reports only 1% of Indians use English as a second language. • This is allowing other countries, like China, to successfully compete with India in Voice based outsourcing. • The British Council attributes the high demand for English proficiency to the lack of quality education. • An increase in English proficiency of Indian citizens, in addition to a greater understanding of American culture and more neutralized accents is critical for India’s sustainability. • These changes are necessary in order for India to continue to compete against other countries in the rapidly growing BPO industry.
Security The EU does not consider India to be a data secure nation, restricting India’s outsourcing business and the flow of sensitive data. New Delhi requests a change in status in order to boost trade in India’s IT-BPO industry. New Delhi is using the bi-lateral trade agreement to argue for the free flow of services in order to boost outsourcing of low-end jobs from Europe and high-end jobs from the United States and protect exports from this work. For sustainability, India must ensure privacy protection of data.
Qualifications of Outsourcers • The current ESO industry in India earns $7-9 billion. • India is gaining new customers for the outsourcing of design engineering projects. • This has the potential to achieve $55 billion in revenues over the next 7 years. • New outsourcers have the ability to reduce production costs by 30-40%, as well as to reduce the design cycles. • This will diversify India’s current ESO industry beyond aviation and defense, which includes a potential 4% growth in the engineering and industrial services industry. • This will create greater opportunity for job growth, as well as greater demand in India’s domestic market.
