Recognizing the growing importance of the business process outsourcing, the Government
of India has introduced various policy concessions and initiatives to accelerate the
growth of the IT-enabled outsourcing market. Spearheaded by associations such as
National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the Indian
software and services industry has also taken various steps to ensure that India
becomes the global hub for IT-enabled outsourcing in the future. Some of the steps
take by the Government and industry for the ITES/BPO sectors are as follows:
