Adding more information over the issue, Sengupta said, "The Ruias-led company has earmarked a capital expenditure of $30-35 million this year, excluding cost on infrastructure," he said.

In the next 10 years, domestic business will expand to $50 billion, which is a case for the Indian BPO industry to go after. International BPO business will be another $50-70 billion,"
