   I read with interest the information on India Business News due to my dealings with Indian Call Centres in the past year.

   I have been doing some work with a Call Centre based in the UK that has been quality checking Indian Generated Leads for the Finance Industry.

   We are all obviously aware of the “credit crunch” and the effects it has had but I have noticed what a massive difference it has made to the Indian Call Centre market.

   It is no exageration to say I would have 4 or 5 different Indian Call Centres contact me daily wanting to work with UK Companies that I have contacts with. Now I hardly get any calls. This isn’t because I have been rude or conducted bad business it is simply because they are going out of business as quickly as UK Secured Loan / Remortgage Loan Brokers are.

   Just makes you think that the credit crunch in the US has massive knock-on effects to the rest of the world.
