Warning bells are ringing on Bangalore’s future as a leading BPO destination. It is not a full-blown crisis yet but the portents are disturbing, according to a cross section of industry, human resource and real estate experts."From January 2008, only a handful of BPO companies have set up shop in Bangalore, as against an average two or three companies beginning operations every month in 2007," says a source in a real estate consulting firm."Of late, we don’t hear of too many companies coming to Bangalore, whereas we have seen many BPO companies starting operations in cities like Chennai, Noida, Kolkata and Kochi. I feel Karnataka is losing its advantage as a BPO destination," said S Nagarajan, founder and chief people officer of 24/7 Customer, a Bangalore-based BPO firm which employs around 7,000 people across various cities in India.  » Original News
