Increasing Demand for Procuring Non-Core Operations in BFSI Fuels Growth
The BFSI firms use subcontracting for their IT functions and other support work, such as data management, software development, and customer services. It allows them to focus on core competencies that include risk, investments, and regulatory compliance.
