The key takeaways are that the BPO industry in India is moving towards operational excellence, with a focus on improving processes and achieving global performance levels. Customers initially came to India for cost savings but now expect higher performance and operational excellence.

Some of the challenges faced by the BPO industry in India include low efficiency levels, a focus on capable people over robust processes, and a need to innovate and improve processes to boost efficiency and productivity.

Operational excellence can be achieved through initiatives like standardized process mapping, business process reengineering, implementing process management frameworks, containing operational risks, and improving support processes.

Increased process effectiveness through release of
operations/processing time from the branch …

 Reduced the overall cost of delivery while making an optimal trade


off between cost and customer service
 Reduce the cost per customer acquisition thereby increasing the
volume of customer acquisition
 Was achieved through migrating transactions to centralized
operations leaving the branch more time for sales
 Enabled the branch to transform itself as a predominant “Sales &
Service” channel
 Modified structure resulted in a 100% improvement in productivity
levels and reduction of discrepancy levels of the customer requests
from 25% to 8%. Also led to a reduction in TAT through 80%
reduction in work in progress cases
