Calling 24o7: Delivering Customized and Contact Care Solutions Diligently
The origins of the BPO industry lie in association with giant manufacturing businesses. A famous example would be of Coca-Cola company.
The BPO industry is typically aligned with back-office outsourcing. It includes various internal business functions like Human Resources, Finance, and Accounting. The front-office outsourcing comprises customer support or contact centre services.
The BPO industry grew steadfastly when the unbundling of business enterprises became a trend, especially in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The major centres for the BPO industry are China, India, and the Philippines. In India, the roots of this sector can be traced back to the latter part of the 1980s when an American financial services company centralized its Japan and Asia-Pacific back office operations in the suburban city of Gurgaon, located in the National Capital Region.
Later, the liberalization of the economy paved the way for the spiked growth of the BPO industry. According to a statistical report by Grand View Research, the summed-up value of the global BPO market size is USD 195.2 billion in 2017 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.4%.
According to a NASSCOM report, the Indian BPO market sizes about USD 150 billion and forecasted expectations to grow at the rate of 10-12%. These developments motivated Ranjit Pagdaloo to conceptualize a business processing outsourcing firm Called 24o7 in 2003, with headquarters in Pune, Maharashtra.
From the very beginning, this BPO company based in Pune has been establishing itself as a leader in providing a wide range of BPO services and Contact Care capabilities.
Their unwavering commitment to delivering excellence has consistently boosted their clients' return on investment (ROI) through effective and dedicated processes.
Startup City magazine spoke with Ranjit Pagdaloo, who is the CEO of the firm, about the organization and its personal impact on his professional journey. Here are some of the edited excerpts.

Firstly, seek to understand before you ask to be understood!

At the end of the day, our clients need to stay competitive and successful in their respective lines of work.
We want to be the best in whatever we do. Our Contact Center goes that mile extra not only for new relationships but also for consolidating the existing ones. When the customer is happy, brand loyalty is a given.
We integrate the right applications, infrastructure, and services to meet specific ends. Recently, we entered the zone of data analytics to better complement our existing services.
This aids us in comprehending their market approach, assessing the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, and identifying opportunities for gaining a competitive edge.
We have several clients associated with us for years in a row, sharing a positive relationship with them. As you know, we associate with different brands for strategy and Go to Market.

Disruption is the name of the game!
In the days to come, the scope of automation and robotics will get wider and wider. Chat boards will minimize contact care centres. Though there's no way that the human interface will disappear entirely.
The journey has been both challenging and exciting. As marketing head of Ask Me, I have seen the market evolve at close quarters. My stint with Ask Me before conceptualizing Calling 24o7 helped me understand the areas of change in the days to come.
As a result, 24o7 has three important and non-negotiable components to its DNA, i.e., Technology, People, and Processes.

"A sustainable business model and an inherent thought process foster a company's long-term growth and advancement. I come across youngsters with strategies to sell even before they get started–why is that?
Whatever the dream is, stand for it before asking others to pour money into it.
When you have good clients built up over time, you don't need a venture capitalist to put in money. However, good clients take time, patience, and hard work to develop. But the effort you put in is worth it. Clients who believe in you is all you need."
