Telecom BPO revenue to touch $2 Billion in 2012

Bangalore: The outsourcing revenues from the telecom sector in India are set to grow at a CAGR of 31 percent to nearly $2 billion in 2012, says a report by Ernst & Young in a first of a kind study on potential of domestic BPO industry. The telecom industry has been growing fast in spite of recession adding around 10 million subscribers every month with a subscriber base of 375 million in 2008-09.

In 2005, Bharti Airtel, which has been growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] of 41 percent in last two years, started the trend of outsourcing its call center to other global companies like Mphasis, IBM Daksh, Teletech and HTMT at $272.2 million. Since then there is pressure on other telecom providers to do the same. "This domain (telecom) has already witnessed a couple of large outsourcing deals in recent months and the trend is expected to continue," said Ernst & Young partner Milan Sheth. In 2008, Telecom revenues added upto 50 percent of the domestic BPO revenues at $661 million.

BPO is also a huge job creator for telecom industry. According to the study, in 2008 telecom BPO hired over 1,22,440 people and by 2012 this number is expected to double. Banking is the second biggest employment generator for domestic BPOs. The banking sector employed around 70,100 people in 2008 and by 2012 this is projected to go up to 2,25,900. The two sectors contribute 80 percent of the domestic BPO revenues and is expected that revenues will reach $6 billion by 2012.

According to the report the key driver for BPOs in telecom is demand for customer care and sales and marketing services.

Let us hope that with BSNL going public, IPO and listing, they will use their extra staff in BPO business. Also ITI will take and take up indegeneous manufacturing of H/W of network elements, infrastructure systems and S/W applications required for BPO and other requirements of Telecom business in India and outside markets.

I am happy to note the fantastic statistics of Telecom BPO business. For me it reminds me about a Call Centre outsourcing and Data processing Outsourcing project idea (now known as BPO) I vizualised and proposed and planned to implement for a Company during 1998, when no one has heard of BPO. I did the preliminary work for finding suitable building, PSTN connectivity, ISP access, 240 port IVRS,  Voice and Data frames, Switches, Routers and Servers, Data storage, and other network elements, Software applications and Power supplies required for implementing the project and contacts abroad to market it there. In spite of my efforts, the project and another my pet project now known as  Virtual Mobile Network did not move forward due to reasons that cannot be discusssed here. Suffice to say that I left the company to use my time more effectively elsewhere.
