Disclosing this addressing a press conference, Mr. Srihari Govindarajan and Mr. Suhit Anantula , Directors of Novodea Systems said there has been a tremendous interest in the Business Process Outsourcing sector in the recent past. This has resulted in the proliferation of news articles and opinions on this industry. However there is no one-stop portal for understanding, following and sharing information in this industry.

The content is interactive, iterative and instant which are the key aspects of today’s online community.

Outsourcing to India has been growing in waves, starting first with software in the late 80s. The next waves were medical transcription and call centers in the late 90s. Now in the year 2004 we are seeing top professional services being outsourced to India. India has been the preferred destination and nation of choice for U.S companies for quite long years because of its abundance of engineers, large English-speaking population and historical ties to Western countries, as weel as its relatively affordable labour costs. The Indian IT Sector has managed to lure not only the West but also the Asian Tigers like Japan. According to research firm Gartner, India is likely to be the fastest growing market for IT services in the Asia-Pacific region. Because of these and many more, India has great advantage for BPO business. And this sector is bound to grow on leaps and bounds in future. Hence, this can augur good to India’s first web site bpodigest.com.
