Indian call-centers losses its appeal
The Indian call centers have been an integral part of their economy for over a decade. Recently the appeal for young people to work in these centers have been dealt a serious blow due to the economic development in the country and the need for economic mobility, "
As recently as four years back, the choice was pretty clear, either you got a high-paying, good job at a call center or no job at all. Today, not only are there other options, but they are pretty close to the call centers [in terms of salaries]."Although the call centers have been very popular in the country the negative sides to it have been another reason for its decline over the years. For one it can get very tedious dealing with people form all over the world for long hours into the night. The workers also have to deal with racial and cultural abuse from unsatisfied customers. It is also known to have health risks like high blood pressure.
Today, Indian students strive to excel in order to avoid the pitfall of working in the call centers,
"Earlier it was considered cool to work at a call center," said Nishant Thakur, 19, after the group had dispersed. "That died out quite quickly." Added Thakur's friend, Vishal Lathwal, 19, "If you work at a call center today people will think you don't have anything else to do or were a bad student."
