A Certified Outsourcing Professional (COP) and a founding member of IAOP, he has been called the “go to” for everything outsourcing and is always front and center in his support for the profession and the people who work in it.

“For me, this honor is truly a recognition of the thought leadership and impact that the Neo team has madeon the industry,” said Atul. “It reaffirms for me that ideas are powerful when they are supported by co-creation and collaborative execution. Our team has made a significant contribution to the industry. It all started in 1999 with my passion to be an entrepreneur and to find an industry where my team and I could fundamentally change the way the operating models worked and create significant value for all stakeholders. It helped us build a company focused on and itself a symbol of ‘Talent Without Borders.’ I am very grateful for this honor.”
