Aegis was selected by a panel of 11 expert judges, representing some of the largest and most respected telecom brands in Asia. Aegis was honored with this prestigious award for its customer experience focus on the telecom vertical, and also for helping telecom providers redefine the success criteria over the end customer’s lifetime. The company also offers a differentiated set of services in the telecom space on a unified platform, and its vertical-based outsourcing, technology and consulting services backed by decades of leadership in customer lifetime value management make it a telecom leader.

Aparup Sengupta, Managing Director and Global CEO, Aegis said, “The Asian telecom market has seen unprecedented growth in the last 5-7 years, and winning the award by outperforming some of the best known names in the industry is indeed very humbling. The Outsourcing Service Provider of the Year award is also a reaffirmation of our telecom strategy, which is designed around an end-to-end customer experience, targeting every stage of the telecom business process.”

Rajiv Ahuja, President – Aegis, ASEAN & ANZ, said: “I am very excited about this award and share the honor with all the Aegis employees servicing the telecommunications vertical. Telecom is a mature industry and was among the first to adopt outsourcing as a strategy, both for cost management as well as customer experience management. Telecommunications is an important market for Aegis, and we will continue to invest in our capabilities in this business.”
