Knowledge Process Outsourcing or KPO as it is popularly abbreviated today has emerged as the latest career revolution in India. A report by Evalueserve predicts that India will capture more than 70 percent of the KPO outsourcing sector by 2010. Almost two-thirds of professionals working in the KPO industry worldwide will be based in India, especially because this industry requires substantial domain expertise among professionals who are Doctors, Engineers, MBAs, Graduates in Science and Technology, Certified Financial Analysts, Accountants, Statisticians, Lawyers, Economists and Chartered Accountants. To ensure that India meets the demand of this emerging sector NIAM Centre for Analytics & Research Excellence popularly known as NCARE setup an Institute in India to offer course specialized in information management across various industries. About N-CARE: NIAM Centre for Analytics & Research Excellence has been setup by a team of experienced analysts, knowledge management professionals and renowned educationists who have come together to create the first private institute for research and analytics study in India,focusing on the growing Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) and Knowledge Management Industry across the globe. The pedagogy has been designed with the intention to bridge the gap between the formal education and the specific skills required for employability. This approach will directly enhance the employability index of the students passing out from the institute. In one ofthe recent survey Siliconindia.com has awarded N-CARE - Bangalore 1st positionin the survey for "India's Top 100 B-Schools for Best EarningPotential" We definitely need more educational institutes with similar approach focusing on aspecific sector. This sure would make our students more employable and also meet need of skilled workforce.

|  | 1) What is Information Management and what is its scope in India?
Information Management is concerned with identifying, organising, evaluating, storing and disseminating information in the most effective and efficient manner. It involves understanding how organisations work, and how Information Strategies must take into account people's or business needs and behaviour. This involves leveraging information systems and Information Technology to maximise information resources to meet organisational objectives and individual requirements. | | The IT revolution and the need and creation of organised data and information has thrown huge opportunities of skilled manpower to analyse and manage this ongoing database and information. In the recent times it has been observed that the need for Information Management has expanded from IT to all major information/data creating sectors such as Telecom, Finance, Pharma, KPO/ ITES, Government, FMCG, etc. and when India is set to become a Knowledge Capital of the world, it gives huge opportunity for Analyst, Researchers or just informed Management Graduates who must have studied more on Industry through research route than traditional syllabus.
India being part of an emerging region is set to be more organised in terms of database and information management which will create an ever expanding need of skilled manpower to manage this.
2) Can you give us an overview of the (Market research/analysis/KPO) industry and how it is doing presently?

During FY2010 direct employment is expected to reach nearly 2.3 million, an addition of 90,000 employees, while indirect job creation is estimated at 8.2 million. (This includes KPO sector jobs). Availability of skilled talent has been India’s foremost attraction as a global sourcing country. India’s graduate outturn has more than doubled in the past decade, with addition of 3.7 million graduates in FY2010, a scale unmatched by any other country. However, some gaps in talent suitability exist, they are being addressed through strong provider-level initiatives and industry-led programmes. (NASSCOM Strategic Review 2010).

There is an ever growing industry need for skilled manpower in the field of information management, research and analytics across all major sectors such as technology, telecom, Finance, Pharma, KPO/ ITES, Government, FMCG, etc. Job opportunities are available across various researches & analytics needs across above specific industry.

If you are a fresh graduate and you want a high paying job where you can apply your knowledge and skills, KPOs are the best place to be in. High salary jobs are being offered to the graduates (MBA's, CA's, law graduates etc.) with a starting package of 4.2 to 4.8 lakhs per annum. And depending on the complexity of the work and processes and the organization (Exevo, Evalueserve or Pipal Research), the package can go up to 6 lacs per annum. Salaries in Indian KPO are 25%-50% higher than in other KPOs around the world.
Some of the best KPO companies in India are Genpact, Evalueserve, Ugam Solutions, WNS, 24/7Custmoer, ICICI OneSource, EXL Service, Copal Partners, Pangea3 and TechBooks. There is no doubt that the presence of so many companies as well as its sheer growth rate of 51% makes this a career to be yearned for.
|  |
It is not just about the salaries at the entry level. Salaries are bound to increase later on also as the work outsourced to Indian KPOs is of high quality and of complex nature. It takes a lot of expertise and skills to carry out the work. Therefore many companies offer their employees 6 monthly salary hikes anywhere between 15%-20%.
And in the future also, the salaries are going to rise in the Indian KPO sector. This trend will last at least up to next 10-15 years. The reason being India's demography and the young talent pool available here. |

If you have to choose a career today, KPO sector certainly seems to be the pick of the litter. More and more researches and reports are claiming high potential and myriad opportunities in this nascent sector in India. According to a report by GlobalSourcingNow, the Global Knowledge Process Outsourcing industry (KPO) is expected to reach USD 17 billion by 2010, of which USD 12 billion would be outsourced to India. In addition, the Indian KPO sector is also expected to employee more than 250,000 KPO professionals by 2011, compared with the current figure of 25,000 employees. While reports about this year are indeed optimistic and show the sheer market size Indian companies have over other nations, Reports are also suggesting phenomenal growth in the sector in the future as well.
A report by Evalueserve predicts that India will capture more than 70 percent of the KPO outsourcing sector by 2010. Apart from India, countries such as Russia, China, the Czech Republic, Ireland, and Israel are also expected to join the KPO industry. The Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) industry in India is likely to grow to US $11.2 billion in revenue by 2010-11 and is expected to employ approximately 255,000 professionals by March 2011, according to the same study. Among low-cost destinations, India will become the hub for providing research and analytics services. Today, the most significant barrier to growth is attrition among young professionals

Knowledge Process Outsourcing or KPO as it is popularly abbreviated today has emerged as the latest career revolution in India. The evolution of the BPO or Business Process Outsourcing Sector in India has led to the birth of this new career domain. The success in outsourcing business process operations to India has encouraged many firms to start outsourcing their high-end knowledge work as well.
Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) is a form of outsourcing, in which knowledge-related and information-related work is carried out by workers in a different company or by a subsidiary of the same organization, which may be in the same country or in an offshore location to save cost. Unlike the outsourcing of manufacturing, this typically involves high-value work carried out by highly skilled staff. KPO firms, in addition to providing expertise in the processes themselves, often make many low level business decisions—typically those that are easily undone if they conflict with higher-level business plans. While BPO essentially handled the back office applications and customer interface, Knowledge Process Outsourcing handles the technical operations of the company.
| To put in more simple words, companies believe in Core Competency which simply means do what you are good at and simply let others work on the things that they are better than you. So while companies initially outsourced their back end operations, the unnecessary aspects such as attending to customer complaints to outside firms, thereby saving money, because they wouldn’t need to invest a lot on setting up call centres themselves or for hiring so many people.
The Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) industry in India is likely to grow to US $11.2 billion in revenue by 2010-11 and is expected to employ approximately 255,000 professionals by March 2011, according to a study by EvalueServe.
If you want to be part of this growing industry then look at the graph and skill sets below. |
