First, Indian entrepreneurs established "business process outsourcing centres" (BPO) that served as back offices to the developed countries; second, due to the Y2K crisis, migration of Indians to overseas increased. Both contributed to India's economic growth and establishment of India as a "soft power". In both the call centres and settlement in offices abroad, technologically articulate young Indians came in contact with clients and
experienced life stresses in the developed countries.
These in turn led to personal, social and public health related challenges for Indians everywhere. We present the findings from a survey conducted in Bengaluru, India and highlight health issues related to stress and work associated with BPO. We also draw a parallel
with a survey of health effects observed among Indians
and compared with other immigrants in Auckland DHB region in
NZ. New Zealand. In the light of these findings, we discuss the broader question how should India address health issues to create a better environment for its own
citizen while citizens even as it realises its aspiration as a
global soft power.
