New Delhi : India has yet again shown its credibility as the world's most preferred BPO (business process outsourcing) destination as three of its leading companies – Wipro, Airtel and Bank of India – have bagged the prestigious Outsourcing Excellence Award.
The 'Best Offshore' award was bagged by Wipro-Nortel Networks for their 15 years of partnership that brought about many achievements for the offshore industry.
The 'Best IT Infrastructure' award was given to Bank of India-Hewlett Packard combine for their efforts to implement a core banking solution.
Bharti Airtel-Nortel Networks India won the 'Best First Steps' award for representing best practices in outsourcing.
The awards, sponsored by global consultancy firm Everest Group and US-based Forbes magazine, will be presented in August at a ceremony in New York.
"In addition to the fact that three of the nine winners in 2007 were Indian companies, a large number of the US-based service providers this year are delivering services from offshore locations," Gaurav Gupta, country head (India), Everest Group said in a statement.
"Although these (awards) range from Russia to eastern Europe to the Philippines and China, three-fourths of the nominated offshore services are provisioned from India," he added.
