Market Overview
There is a lot of progress that has been happening in our enterprise business units and insurance is one of the few chosen verticals in which we are looking at both life and amenities as well as property and cash segments of the industry. For both segments we provide IT and BPO assistance, which is an end to end responsibility. About 11 percent of the company’s revenue comes from this business unit.
In 2011, the insurance industry as a whole has taken a hit because of all the natural calamities— the tsunami and hurricanes in both Japan and U.S. Every time there is a natural calamity in any part of the world, the losses are very high. But despite this, the insurance industry is getting back on the track.
