Across the street from an Army Reserve center and next to a farm, a customer-service call center hums, its 250 workers answering phones for online travel agency Expedia. The center’s owner? Indian conglomerate Tata Group.

Pune is the bomb, the mecca, the place to be baby. read this Washington Post Article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/10/AR2006011001687.html
