Syntel, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYNT), a global information technology services and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firm, today announced that it has been included on the 2007 The Global Outsourcing 100, a list of the top global providers of business and technology services devoted to featuring the best of today's leading outsourcing service providers and tomorrow's rising stars.

"We are delighted to be honored by IAOP as a top provider in the Global Outsourcing arena," said Keshav Murugesh, Syntel's President and COO. "This award is a tribute to the passion and innovation of our more than 8,300 employees around the world that made Syntel what it is today and consistently deliver value-added solutions to our clients every day."

The selection process, by design, mirrors what customers do when they select a provider for outsourcing services. Revenue is just one factor that was used to rank the companies, but it was not the dominant factor. Other elements, such as customer outcomes, capabilities, relationship management approaches, management talent and experience were just as, if not more, important.

"The companies on this year's Global Outsourcing 100 list represent the elite of our field. They hail from every corner of the globe. They provide an extensive array of cutting-edge services. And, through the program's application and review process they have proven themselves to be the best at what they do," says Michael F. Corbett, Chairman, IAOP.

The Global Outsourcing 100, an annual list produced by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP), recognizes the world's best outsourcing service providers and is based on applications received and evaluated by an independent judge's panel. The 2007 judges panel is chaired by Jag Dalal, COP, a senior executive who has worked extensively in the field of outsourcing at major U.S. corporations including Carrier, Data General, Unisys, and Xerox and is today Managing Director, Thought Leadership, IAOP. Along with its publication by IAOP, the list will appear in the special advertising feature produced by IAOP in the April 30, 2007 FORTUNE 500 issue of FORTUNE® magazine.
