Last month I posted that Nagarro was named a “Rising Star” in the 2010 Global Outsourcing 100® List by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®). I am now pleased to report that – as seen in the Fortune Magazine F500 issue on newsstands today – Nagarro has been awarded distinction in five categories of this award, including Top 20 “Rising Star” Outsourcing Firms, both in the US and Europe.

However, the most important achievements in winning this award are Nagarro’s near-perfect scores in customer satisfaction and employee management. As our customers know very well, Nagarro is only as good as the people who work here. As Nagarro’s CEO, I find it tremendously rewarding to know that all the hard work that goes into employee development behind the scenes has resulted in the desired effect: Satisfied customers.

A special thanks goes out to the hundreds of Nagarro employees working hard to help our customers achieve success. For me, this is what it’s all about.
