their leadership position in the market. They generally share superior market
understanding, have a global client base, an extensive network of
well-distributed and highly populated global delivery centers catering for
multiple languages, a good balance of transactional and high-end F&A delivery
and innovative sales offerings."

locations. In a considerably short span of 5 years, we have been able to
scale great heights and significantly transform the finance processes of our
clients. We have been able to leverage our extensive technology capabilities,
clearly shaping the vision for the next generation of F&A outsourcing. This
recognition validates our strategy and the significant investments that we

business value to our clients."
