As per agreement they outsource voice and non-voice process for my BPO also they take charges of our voice project.End of feb they start their joint operation on my floor, Malda,west Bengal,India.
2 nd week of march ‘08 with out prior notice and with out any cause they with drawn their voice agent as well withdrawn their voice process,but after withdrawn the voice process still they are continue their huge non-voice process on my floor. After 2 and half month of work and as per norms when we several time request drukonnet for clear our dues which is around 21 lakhs , they keep silence and still no payment from their end. Asper agreement we are not sign for business for voice and non-voice except Drukonnet..
