What's more Citibank India said that its global job cuts would have only a limited impact in the country.The transaction is expected to be completed in the current quarter, the release said.
Citibank had been considering exiting the BPO business for sometime to concentrate on its core competence of financial services. Thus, with the sale, Citi would now be able to focus strongly on banking.
Citibank's India head, Sanjay Nayar, had then said that the bank was consolidating all its businesses and wanted to focus on its core operations. The freed-up capital following the sale of its BPO arm would be used for its core businesses.
With the sale of its BPO arm, not many job cuts might now take place in its banking operations

Accenture may or may not hire in 2010.Who cares abt that.you should think about present.Accenture in India is the best of all the WORST IT Companies in the world.They hire people when they do not ahve any projects in hand.They will keep them on bench for years together and ultimately those people will forget whatever they ahd learnt from their prior experience and will depend on Accenture.Its during that time, Accenture will cleverly put these people under PIP which is called PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PLAN and they will keep on assingning work which in no way related to their primary skill.End of the day that person will be thrown out saying he didnt perform.Sametime Accenture will advertise as if they are hiring,just to keep everyone's mind that Accenture is a safe place to work...this is how it works...iam working with Accenture,Bangalore as a Lead and iam writing this after seeing so many people spoiling their life joining Accenture
