Mumbai: The Global Offshore Outsourcing Summit 2004 (GOOS 2004), scheduled on April 21 and 22 in MumbaI, is showcasing India as the offshoring and outsourcing knowledge destination.

The summit, to be organised by Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC), would also highlight the benefits of outsourcing work to India, according to former US Ambassador to India Frank G Wisner.

Wisner, who was the immediate past chairman and a director of the India-US Business Council, also said at the curtain raiser function organised by IACC that the focus of the summit is on how India can enhance profitabilities of large global corporations.

IACC-West India Council regional president Farokh Balsara says: "outsourcing is an area that has generated tremendous interest, especially in the Indo-US business corridor. We believe that outsourcing will continue to play a critical role in the globalisation of the world economy."

GOOS 2004 is focused on presenting a balanced and incisive view on outsourcing industry and to create a platform through which one-to-one business dialogue would be facilitated, he says.

The summit is an attempt at creating a space in which the business process outsourcing industry comes together in a forum meant exclusively for it, he added.
