Karate chops for fair sex in BPO club

Green and black belts are back in demand at IT and BPO majors like Satyam, Wipro and Infosys, for entirely different reasons though. Having won these belts earlier pushing Six Sigma practices for quality and timely delivery of services, BPO pros are now logging into real martial arts.
