India's 20 biggest IT-BPO employers

Nasscom, on Wednesday, released the rankings of the top 20 IT-BPO organisations in the country that accounted for over 40 per cent of the total employees in this sector.

The list is based on the India-based FTE headcount of firms with IT-BPO operations in India, as reported to the National Association of Software and Services Companies in its annual survey.

Based on publicly available information, few other multi-national corporations such as Accenture, Convergys, HP India and IBM would have also featured in the list.

However, as they did not participate in the survey, Nasscom did not have the required details and were unable to rank them.

Most companies on the list are engaged in information technology as well as business process outsourcing businesses.
