According to a report by research firm Gartner, Indian entities engaged in BPO are seeing more traction and visibility overseas, especially with their flexibility to wide range of offerings for customers.
The Indian BPO players are willing to consider new 'business pricing models' and also show lot more flexibility in catering to the needs of customers, the study said.
As per estimates from the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom), the Indian IT-BPO sector is expected to aggregate revenues of over USD 100 billion in 2011-12.
