The India programme held in January 2009 entailed the development of a business plan for the expansion of Drishtee, a rapidly expanding Indian ICT company, in New Delhi, India who is looking to develop its BPO services.
During the India YLP, an international group of participants worked closely with Drishtee, an Indian ICT company, which has been widely recognized for its achievements in training thousands of rural entrepreneurs in setting up internet kiosks which have delivered basic goods and services to villages across India. During the programme, participants developed a business plan which outlined exciting opportunities for Drishtee to develop its BPO services; an industry which has generated more than 30 percent revenue growth in 2008. In particular, the plan taps into the potential of the rural economy by promoting local entrepreneurialism and building the capacity of rural villagers, particularly women, to be self-sufficient.
