LPO India News Issues
Pangea3, an India LPO company, has been sold to Thomson Reuters. Employees with stock options might be compensated well. The sale price is only known to be US$35-40 million, but no exact figure is available. Pangea3 has a US presence for marketing, but is now planning on building onshore delivery centers to emulate the Indian LPO centers. The ability to offer 24 hour service was one factor.
LPOs and the Music Industry
An India LPO company in Mysore SDD Global Solutions has been able to participate in helping a non-profit organization called Fight The Power Foundation. Fight The Power is an organization that represents music artists who claim they have been cheated out of royalties owed to them by large record companies. Many record companies believe that the artists don’t have the resources to sue them. SDD has also represented Ali G and Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen). Fight the Power Foundation is being incorporated by rapper Chuck D.
