The client expects this high impact resource to come from peer group banks like Citi, BankAm, SCB, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse or from large MNC IT/BPO cos like IBM, Accenture, EDS, CapGemini and WNS in or around Mumbai. Candidates from other locations may find it a challenge relocating to Mumbai due to the high cost of accommodation.
