Indian BPO sector is swirling in consolidation waves as a result of fast changing industry dynamics. According to research analysts, consolidation will likely hit the business process outsourcing sector in the coming months. Some of the companies are already planning to move to different business lines since they face some bottlenecks to cope with changing dynamics.
