<http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/ites/Bharti-splits-500-mn-Africa-deal-among-IBM-Tech-Mahindra-and-Spanco/articleshow/6812374.cms>Quoting
from the Economics times of India link above..
“About 4,000 employees who currently handle Zain’s customer care operations
in Africa will move to the rolls of these three companies. The partners will
set up operations in each market which will sustain and build skills,
capabilities and resources,” he added. Executives tracking the contract said
local companies in Africa had not bid for the call centre deal although
Spanco and possibly, Tech Mahindra, could partner with domestic firms there
to deliver the service. "

Interesting to keep our eyes on be prepared in the event of the opportunity.
