For some people this is easier than others, for most people, it takes quite a bit of work. However, it is definitely possible! There are three main features one needs to be conscious of when looking to reduce their accent and move towards a neutral English Accent.

Keep the language simple. Use the fewest number of words to get your point across, which may require extraordinary preparation. Enunciate each word clearly, taking pains to pronounce them in a neutral accent.

The accent in the Punjab regions is influenced by the Punjabi language and many Punjabi words form the common vocabulary of Urdu in these regions. Pashto speaking people have a very neutral accent and are very clear; however most Pashto speakers who speak Urdu very commonly confuse gender in the language.

In Philippine call center, the agents have a neutral accent that is pleasant and comprehensible to western ears. This is where the Philippines have the most advantage over Indians who have thick Indian accents that are hard to get rid of.

An efficient English-speaking skilled workforce is also a plus point of the country[India]. Moreover they are trained in a fairly neutral accent which helps for communication purposes.

You must have a team of 10 or more neutral accent English speaking customer care executive.

It's important to get the pronunciation and the rhythm and meter of the language down right. Listening to the native Spanish speakers in a course like "Rocket Spanish" or "Learning Spanish Like Crazy", lets you hear, learn from and imitate excellent speakers who have a clear, neutral accent.

The actual different essential subject of appraisal is without a doubt tuning in appreciation of oral English tongue around one specific fairly neutral accent.

Very Good useful information. Accent, slang and usage of jargons are hindering factors for flow of communication.  Neutral accent is the new concept that can be understandable to each and everyone.  Our accent is the easiest accent to understand.  Pronouncing letter by letter is sometimes looks awkward.
