'Web-Services Is Next Revolution, India Can Become Front-End'


Noting that today internet allows work to be done from anywhere by anyone, she said people in tier-II, III and IV towns in India can be made skilled to do it.

Citing projects carried out by iMerit in villages in the North-East, Radha said she was amazed to find that rural youth and women who pass 10th and 12th standards can be skilled in three-four months to undertake web-enabled works.

In areas where women can't come out of their community, IT projects can be taken to where they live, she said.

Indian companies are also beginning to accept the idea of outsourcing to firms engaged in build-operate-manage model and operating IT centres in towns, in view of higher attrition rates in the metros, according to her.

Radha saw "next revolution in web-services" of getting any work done by anybody not just in India but the world-over, and said India can become the front-end of web-services of the world, while continuing its stridesBSE -1.54 % in the BPO space.
