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.
