Mr Anil Singhvi said, "I believe, FTIL with its world class Talent, Technology, Capital, Infrastructure and Leadership is ideally poised to become the obvious choice as partner for entrepreneurs and organizations, who would rather outsource the services and conserve the resources to scale up their business.
