The US Republican Party now has a band of young and enthusiastic fund-raisers in Noida and Gurgaon.
HCL eServe, the business process outsourcing arm of the Shiv Nadar-promoted HCL Technologies, has bagged a project to undertake a fund-raising campaign for the US Republican Party over the telephone.
This is the first time such a project has been handed out to a company outside the US. The market research and public relations companies engaged by the party usually undertake such projects.
Wow.
That blows the irony meter all to shit. Amazing.

Mine’s a melted pile of slag, still smoking.
We do hope and trust here at the INQUIRER that the irony of underpaid people in Harayana helping robots to call possibly out of work Americans because of a widespread policy of corporate outsourcing is not lost on our readers
…or the voting public.
But it probably will be.
Now…WHY isn’t this story being picked up by the big American media outlets???
too funny
i find this unbelievably funny
no maybe not funny but amusing
no not amusing….what’s the word i am looking for
oh well i am too stunned by the concept to properly describe it !!!
