Mphasis BPO Footnote: This list does not include some companies whose corporate headquarters are located outside India, but have significant India-based delivery capabilities, and have not shared their India-based revenue figures. Had they been ranked based on their India revenues, companies such as Convergys and Sutherland Global Services would have also appeared in this list. Since several companies are privately held, in order to maintain uniformity, revenue figures for the ranked companies are not being shared.In FY 07, the Indian ITES-BPO segment grew by 33.5% per cent contributing USD 8.4 billion to the total software and services exports of USD 31.4 billion.Speaking on the findings of the survey, Kiran Karnik, President, NASSCOM, said, “The ITeS-BPO segment continued to grow at a scorching pace, to record export revenues of USD 8.4 billion in FY07. We expect segment revenues to grow at around 30% next year, to clock exports of USD $10.5-11bn billion in FY08. The Indian BPO sector has witnessed significant transformation over the past decade. Starting with basic data entry tasks, it now includes increasingly complex processes. The domestic market has also contributed to the growth of the segment as a whole and we expect on-going momentum considering the large addressable market that it offers. Overseas M&A, along with increase in scale and depth of existing service lines, has complemented the growth of this segment.” Steady growth was observed across the following key service categories
- Finance & Accounting (F&A)
- Customer Interaction Services (CIS)
- Human Resource Administration (HRA)
