Excellent post by tumtum. It explains everthing about KPO industry in lucid, easy to understand format.

What i feel, jobs in KPO industry are little bit easy to come and hence one can start in KPO research organisation if he/she is able to land an offer.

After working for 2 years, one can decide whether he/she wants to further develop technical skills (in this case moving out of KPO industry and shifting to front end financial analysis) or get in the team management role.

I think outsourcing is going to stay for the next 2-3 decades. The 'analyst' is getting outsourced(all the number crunching work which can be tranferred over intenet) and senior analyst (will review the work from offshore analyst), associate/senior associate/MD (will spend substantial time with client in developing business/closing deals) positions will stay in new york/london.

Within KPO, there is lot of variation in terms of work. For example: irevna works with top 5 investment banks as a 'strategic partner' where all the analysis is done in India (Chennai) and associate and MD are free to deepen client relationship. Inductis is another high end KPO and these companies are looking for best people including hiring from ISB Hyderabad. The packages are also best. I know people in these organisations develop bond pricing models rather then simply updating it.

There are some KPOs which have low to medium end work and work as a service provider...as tumtum said their aim is to generate revenues, increase headcount and they are willing to take all kind of assignments like updating financial models.

In nutshell, KPO is a good start with good package and MNC type of enviorment. But given the fact that India produces highest MBAs in world (close to 90,000 per year), getting in KPO is also a tough task and needs comprehensive preparation.

tumtum sir gr8 post

but sir not everyone is so much qualified to find gr8 profiles in core companies,
just like IT sec has given jobs to lakhs , hopefully KPO will do thje same.
Its just that u must do some course to increase skillset side by side and keep working hard.

its survival of the fittest

atleast due to kpo we have so many jobs or people will be plain unemployeduppydog:..


ps : tumtum sir by when due to think subprime and credit problem get fully over and what scenario will there be in india growth when oi is raised to 75-80 rs per ltr after electionsuppydog:

Just a thought- i cant understd why ppl has to be so preachy all the time & show off thr goodness by mentioning rules & regulation etc etc.... i mean it all seems so fake..

sry to write an irrelevant post here but it has been long lingering in my mind as i have been seeing such preachy post every now & then...

I dont think I said anything wrong and I stand by my statement.

I do understand ur irritation at my post but my friend, sadly for you, we live in a democracy and everyone has a right to his opinion. Loafer said what he wanted and I said what I wanted.

As is generally the case, people who say what they want end up hearing what they dont want and thats what happened in Loafer's case.

You had a right to groan at me and you did it, I have no complaints but please make sure you stop this preaching of yours and contribute valuably to this thread rather then being a referee.

What I say and what I dont is my prerogative and sadly, no one's preaching can influence me.

Have a good day.

Diablo was not being preachy.He was talking sense.Imagine a public forum with no people like diablo ..things would go out of hand.

This is the beauty of this forum.People can moderate people and help each other.(I might sound preachy again but thats the way it is )

It was my mistake that i quoted a wrong thread and It was social_loafer`s mistake to have lost his temper so quickly.Both have apologized to each other and the matter ends there.

No more posts regarding this.It was all started by me and Let me end this.
This thread is here to stay and @tumtum we are looking for posts more abt KPO from you.

You have just posted a very valid point, India is a democratic country and everyone is free to express his views, but might be in a community we have different set of rules.

KPOs are ruining talent, I have seen people joining KPOs for money, given they offer far better packages when compared to other front-end jobs. It is painful when you find yourself doing the same stupid thing for whole of the year, the only encouragment, however, is the compensation, which happens once in a month.

You could just have been the bigger man and let it go too couldnt you? Was it really necessary that you drag this on further??

True, we live in a democracy and we have a right to our opinion. However, that very same democracy doesn't give you the right to attack somebody else. I repeat, you could have let it go the first time rather than continuing with it.

As for rules, yeah we have them. And yes, sometimes it becomes necessary to remind people of rules. A forum is built by people helping each other. If each bickers with the other, there's not going to be any forum. If you want to pick a fight with somebody, go do it on a different forum. You are on this site because you are in pursuit of a Master's degree. There is some level of maturity that we expect from you.

I dont like giving out bans, more so since this is AIPGM week and everybody's in a cheery mood. However, the next person to attack somebody will be banned.
