PRESS RELEASE

BUCHAREST, September 18, 2008 - WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS), a leading provider of global business process outsourcing (BPO) services, and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the only international accountancy body with a sole focus on business, today announced a partnership with the Bucharest University of Economics (ASE), a premier Romanian institution of higher education. In a move to promote excellence in financial management, CIMA has granted accreditation to the University’s two-year master’s degree in Accounting and Financial Techniques for Business Management (TECOFIG). This is the first accreditation CIMA has granted in Romania and recognizes the degree’s comprehensive grounding in management accounting. WNS will contribute business case studies from its operations and lectures given by its senior managers in order to provide insights into the rapidly growing BPO services industry. WNS will also offer scholarships and internships to TECOFIG students and the opportunity for graduates to join the company once they have successfully completed the program.

TECOFIG graduates can choose an accelerated route to the CIMA qualification through exemptions from five of the Institute’s papers. Additionally, ASE will develop a new post graduate diploma which covers accounting content from the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting. This program will be accessible to graduates of all disciplines who want to build a career in accounting and finance.

“WNS sees immense potential for growth and scale in Romania. We are committed to developing talent locally and are pleased to announce this three-way partnership with ASE and CIMA,” said Akos Csernus, Head of Romanian Operations for WNS. “This initiative will provide an excellent education program for Romanian students seeking to pursue careers in management accounting and financial analytics.”

Eastern Europe provides a strong combination of language skills and talent, and has emerged as a major provider of BPO services. BPO exports from the region total US $1 billion and employ approximately 30,000 FTEs. Finance and accounting (F&A) is the primary BPO service in the region, including processes ranging from transaction processing to high end analytics.

“WNS is committed to nurturing leaders, and through our strategic relationship with CIMA, we ensure our employees gain internationally recognized training,” said Neeraj Bhargava, Group Chief Executive Officer. “As the first BPO provider to forge a strategic relationship with CIMA, we endeavor to educate, train and qualify world class professionals in order to provide high value services to our clients.”
