City to host outsourcing meet

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: What could be a more appropriate place to host the Indian Sourcing Summit 2008 (ISS) than the outsourcing capital of India? The Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, in collaboration with the international network of the Supply Management Institute (SMI) will host a conference with participants from leading companies, industrial giants and academicians from India, China, Europe and U.S., in Bangalore.

The two-day conference, scheduled to begin on February 8, 2008, will be based on the theme: ‘India as the emerging hub for global outsourcing.’

The conference will bring together chairpersons, directors and CEOs of leading companies to educate them about supply management, in the context of the ongoing boom in economy fuelled by outsourcing projects.

The conference will cover topics ranging from strategic supplier management and different levels within companies to the division of products outsourced from India and China.

“This is purely to educate these companies so that they can carry back expertise which will help them generate better output,” said Constantin Blome, chief secretary of ISS.

It was necessary to identify the bottlenecks and risk factors to solve them, said Mahadevan from IIM-B.
