to account for changes in business
environment, customer expectations and
industry benchmarks. As competency
framework needs to be in tandem with the new
business strategy, there was a need to relook at
the existing competency framework and to
align it better with the strategies for the

that would enable Firstsource to become
global leaders during the Breakout Phase
