Ocean Solutions

Ocean Solutions is a Rural BPO company situated in a small town-Sagar in the state of Karnataka, about 350kms away from Bangalore. The objective of Ocean Solutions is to assimilate rural India into the knowledge economy by introducing rural youth to BPO opportunities and providing employment to them in their own villages. In today's world, the lack of employment opportunity is luring people from villages to cities. Corporates can benefit immensely by taking jobs to people rather than bringing people to jobs. Besides bringing cost effectiveness to clients, the Ocean Solutions ecosystem ensures complete information protection, guaranteed service levels, a committed work force and business continuity. The model we envisaged was that of a professionally run 20 seat facility running in 2 shifts offering services to global clients. The facility would be located in a geography of 10-100k population and would train the educated under employed. The benefits would be: 1. Creation of computer based or knowledge related jobs in communities where there are no similar jobs. Lower attrition rates for the industry, as people would be less inclined to leaving given the improved quality of life and option of staying with their family. Lower costs (up to 40% reduction) for clients as overheads are far lower. Social Impact: Ocean Solutions is committed to assimilate Rural India into the Knowledge economy and provide the following benefits: 1. Provide employment to the rural population and improve their skills set 2. Prevent avoidable migration of rural youth to urban areas 3. Individual income can support family needs and higher education for youth 4. Stimulate economic activity and improve living conditions in these areas 5. Help improve literacy. Given the door-step employment opportunities, people will be motivated to send their children to schools 6. Retain the character and values of the villages
