India to Account for 71% of Global KPO Revenues by FY 2010

New Delhi, India – 4 May 2005: According to Evalueserve, the Indian KPO sector will account for 71 percent of global KPO revenues by FY 2010. The global KPO market will grow by 45 percent per annum, from USD 1.29 billion in FY 2003 to USD 17 billion by FY 2010. This high growth in the KPO sector presents a huge opportunity for India in terms of employment generation and wealth creation, which will result in an increase in the number of jobs, from 25,000 in 2003 to 2, 50,000 by 2010. The average annual salary in the Indian KPO sector is currently around USD 8,800 per annum, as compared to USD 6,000 per annum in BPO. This is the outcome of higher revenue per unit and enhanced billing rates. The report also highlights the fact that revenues in the Indian service sector are expected to rise by 12 percent per annum (from USD 306 billion in FY 2003 to USD 675 billion in FY 2010), contributing 57 percent to India’s GDP by FY 2010. KPO will contribute around 1.8 percent to the Indian service sector by FY 2010, up from 0.24 percent in FY 2003.

The report also explains how outsourcing high-end jobs is a win-win proposition for clients as well as KPO vendors. The chart on the following page indicates the positive change in the cost structure of clients outsourcing high-end jobs to destinations such as India:


The maximum share of value creation goes to clients outsourcing high-end jobs, thereby cutting costs by 40 to 70 percent and improving quality exponentially. On the other hand, 30 percent of the revenue of a typical KPO vendor is retained in the form of profits (before taxes) and 35 percent goes towards employee costs. The balance, i.e., 35 percent of the revenue, represents overhead costs. This translates into income for the allied sectors, and has a multiplier effect on profit and employment generation. “This multiplier effect could result in two to three jobs being created in other sectors for every job created in the off-shore financial (KPO) sector directly,” says Marc Vollenweider, CEO and President, Evalueserve. The Evalueserve report provides an in-depth analysis of the various drivers, value proposition, and imperatives of the KPO sector.
