Murugesh, was named among the 50 most influential people in the Nearshore Americas region in the outsourcing industry. The 2011 list highlights 50 professionals who have played a major role in strengthening business process outsourcing and IT services in the Americas, developing new businesses, increasing the region's competitiveness, setting the highest standards for service delivery and, ultimately, improving the lives of their employees.

My team works very hard to fuel WNS’s growth, and the successful completion of two years of our presence in the Latin American market, together with this recognition, underscores our commitment toward the expansion of our global footprint and delivery capabilities for global clients.”

The Nearshore Americas Power 50 ranking is formulated based on key judging criteria that include personal impact on the growth and visibility of outsourcing in the Americas, a history of achievement in business or government, dedication to raising industry standards of excellence and recognition as an industry thought-leader.

“We are extremely proud to be able to highlight the serious and profound impacts that Keshav Murugesh, as well as others, are having in driving world-class practices in the nearshore services sector,” said Kirk Laughlin, CEO at Nearshore Americas. “We hope you will join us in congratulating the ongoing achievements of this very special group of professionals, and continue to call on and challenge them to work collectively to bring appropriate recognition to this dynamic sector.”
