First India-US BPO summit to be held in March

Will be held in the US state of Florida; two million job creations for both offshore and domestic Indian businesses will be targeted

The first-ever India-US BPO conference will be held in the US state of Florida during which two million job creations for both offshore and domestic Indian businesses will be targeted, its organisers have said.

Themed, "Leveraging the Power of Partnerships, in the New Digital Age", the two-day conference is being organised by Indo-American Chamber of Commerce in partnership with TV18, on March 29-30.

Targeting two million job creation for both offshore and domestic businesses in India, this summit will also boost the confidence of the Indian business community showcasing the 'New - Digital India,' a statement said.

Top executives from leading Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms, including Aegis, Concentrix, Genpact, HGS, Integra Global, SITEL, TCS, TBSS, Teleperformance, Quatrro and Wipro are expected to attend the meeting.

Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC-NIC) in a statement said this first of its kind industry initiative is in sync with the combined vision of the Indian and the US government - of a five folds growth in the Indo-US bilateral trade--from the current USD 100 billion to USD 500 billion-as well as creating a new wave of growth for the Services Industry.

"Growth depends on our ability to scale up effectively. Today's BPO partners offer agility and flexibility to businesses to remain relevant in this highly competitive landscape," said Raman Roy, chairman, Quatrro and IACC-NIC Summit chairperson.

"This Summit aims to present the collaborative solutions from the Indian BPO industry to our largest client market - US," he said.

Lalit Bhasin, regional president, IACC-NIC and an eminent lawyer said there is enough to be done and this summit aims to create synergies between the business communities of both the nations, which are set to be the major contributors to this vision.
