To answer your last question, definitely KPO industry will expand in India and South asia, because of various reasons, primary reason being slowdown in US, (Citibank to show $24bn writedown today!).
Mckinsy, Goldman, UBS are better names, when you compare with CapitalIQ. The only risk I see is, consolidation in service Industry, Thomson + Reuters, has changed the dynamics.
I guess CapitalIQ, Factset, Factiva etc will feel the heat from Thomson in coming days.


History shall be kind to me, because I intend to "write" it down..

I work as a Private Equity Analyst and we have invested in few KPO companies. KPO industry will grow and entry level investment banking analyst profiles will be outsourced. It is a good option to start a career. Either you can grow vertically- Sr Analyst- Manager-VP or can work in capital iq for 2-3 years and then look for other opportunities in corporate finance, trading, consulting etc.

Yes, top performers in KPO generally become team lead in 2-3 years. Pay package is good and can go upto 8-10 lakhs for a manager handling large team.

I have met Copal Partners CEO Rishi Khosla. Copal work is good and you will learn how to make pitch books, comps, financial modelling etc- Good skills. However, since Copal works with Top Investment banks which needs reports urgently, they have long shifts and you will be expected to work sometimes till 3:00 a.m. Dont worry, HR manager will ask you are you willing to work long shifts ?
