India Tops the Offshore BPO Confidence Index 2024

India has once again claimed the top spot in the Offshore BPO Confidence Index 2024, reinforcing its position as the world’s leading outsourcing destination. 

The report, published by Cognitive Copy and Ryan Strategic Advisory, highlights India’s unmatched strengths in talent, infrastructure, and economic stability, making it the preferred choice for global businesses. 

But what makes India the undisputed leader in offshore BPO services? Let’s break down the key findings from the Offshore BPO Confidence Index 2024 and explore why India continues to dominate the global outsourcing landscape.

What is the Offshore BPO Confidence Index?

The Offshore BPO Confidence Index is an annual survey that gathers insights from 140 top BPO executives, country managers, and industry leaders across 16 major offshore outsourcing markets.

The report evaluates the confidence levels of industry professionals based on key outsourcing success factors, including:

  • Labour market capabilities (availability and quality of talent)
  • Infrastructure (IT, telecom, and commercial real estate)
  • Safety and security
  • Political and economic stability
  • Government support for outsourcing

Each country receives a confidence rating based on executive perceptions, ranging from “Zero Confidence” (<20%) to “Total Confidence” (100%).

India emerged as the clear frontrunner, with an overall confidence rating of 93.9%—the highest in the index.
