Understanding The KPO Sector:

The knowledge process outsourcing or KPO sector currently provides employment for more than 25, 000 Indians. These workers are collected from among people having diverse backgrounds and qualifications like engineers, MBAs, teachers, journalists and even those with a background in finance and science.

While BPOs call for workers skilled in English and pegs its success on volume and efficiency, KPOs zero in on purely educational qualifications and experience levels as criteria for recruitment.

The kind of knowledge that is outsourced by firms abroad include research work on finance, market behavior, data management, etc. A KPO employee is required to work exclusively with technical data extraction, cataloguing, and indexing, besides creating and updating databases.

The cropping up institutions which focus largely on engineering and technology has further led to a generation of an extensive talent pool for the KPO sector. By 2010, this field is expected to provide jobs for more than 250,000 people in India.

The very nature of KPO allows for the inclusion of a section of business process outsourcing and research process outsourcing functions thus making it a field that is rich in compensation as well as learning potential.
