About The Client
Ranked among the biggest IT Company in the world, the client is one of the Top 3 Indian IT, Consulting and Outsourcing Company. Client’s strategy for the year was to increase their business in Named Accounts. Client’s team was working with a leading Hi-Tech company but only had a small presence.
