KRBS is a Rs 25,000 crore financial services group from UK . It runs its back-office operations from India through a fully-owned subsidiary Easiprocess based in Bangalore . Easiprocess was set up in 2005 and presently does a business worth $2.5 million (Rs 12 crore approx) and has a workforce of more than 160.

EasiOption marks the KRBS group's entry in BPO business for clients engaged in financial and legal sectors along with sports and entertainment verticals. "We are planning to set up a BPO that would serve clients needing even one or two service-professionals. We want to serve smaller clients instead of servicing one client that needs 100 professionals," added KRBS group CEO Mike Lazenby.

During the first year of establishment, EasiOption BPO Service aims at generating approximately $2.5 million to $3 million (Rs 14 crore approx) revenue, which would subsequently touch $11 million by 2012. When the BPO unit acquires the additional 500 capacity unit, the revenue would touch $25 million mark. EasiOption plans to get the 500-seater-capacity fully operational immediately.
