Senior Vp, Head - India Operations
Clifton, Nj, Us
I run the India Delivery Center for Apollo Health Street. This role carries responsibility of delivery of 80% of the 3000+ global workforce across all verticals. All local support functions also report into myself.In addition, I head the Quality function globally for AHS. I lead a team of Black Belts who spearhead quality improvement across the organization using LEAN and 6-sigma methodologies. I am a big proponent of Net Promoter Score deployment to quantify customer satisfaction.I was part of the founding team of AHS responsible for setting up the BPO division which services primarily US-based Providers and Payers. Many of these processes were setup first-time from India (back in 2002) and hence faced significant challenges related to development of required domain expertise. The division has grown multifold since then – it now carries an annual revenue upwards of $100 million across 12 locations in India & US providing a wide array of professional services which range from:• Simple data entry processes like claims data entry, charge/ payment posting• Medium complexity processes like claims adjudication, provider matching, inbound helpdesk, provider verification• Highly complex (KPO) processes such as revenue cycle management, credentialing, provider recruitment, contracts management etc.• Front-end consulting services targeting process improvements, IT integration etc.I have been responsible for setting up the global delivery model, transitioning new business, ensuring consistent delivery and overall client satisfaction. Very early on I invested in building a high quality front-end team in US – responsible for onsite delivery as well as client engagement. The success of this team has contributed immensely to the growth of business. Under my leadership AHS achieved the #1 ranking in Black Book of Outsourcing for both Provider and Payer segments in 2008 – a ranking which is based purely on client feedback.
