Drishti powers voice BPO initiative for Rural Shores

Drishti-Soft Solutions becomes technology partners to Rural Shores, Bangalore. The latter is a Rural BPO firm that aims to promote rural-shoring of BPO operations by setting up business process outsourcing units and business centers across smaller towns and villages in India. Drishti’s multi-award winning customer interaction management suite - Ameyo becomes the preferred technology by Rural Shores for building voice capability into their highly successful BPO operations.
As the whopping 15 billion USD Indian BPO industry steps ahead, it is challenged by tough competition from rivals such as Philippines. With the BPO firms losing some two-thirds of their incremental voice based business to the south-east Asian countries, there is a dire need to create another delivery layer and bring down the costs of operations for a better value proposition.
The current BPO scene has 60% of the 'skill factory' coming from Tier 1 and 2 regions. Taking a closer look at the industry stats, the picture says that the Indian BPO industry is slated to rise to 220-280 Billion USD by 2012 generating around 2 million direct jobs. This creates enough room for the rural regions to tap their share of contribution to the BPO 'skill factory' and creates substantial opportunity for firms like Rural Shores.
