Read the passage below, and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage. The process of globalization has been an integral part of the recent economic progress made by India.Globalization has played a major role in export­led growth, leading to the enlargement of the job market in India. One of the major forces of globalization in India has been in the growth of outsourced IT and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services. The last few years have seen an increase in the number of skilled professionals in India employed by both local and foreign companies to service customers in the US and Europe in particular. Taking advantage of India’s lower cost but educated and English speaking work force, and utilizing global communications technologies such as voice over IP (VOIP), email and the internet, international enterprises have been able to lower their cost base by establishing outsourced knowledge­worker operations in India. As a new Indian middle class has developed around the wealth that the IT and BPO industries have brought to the country, a new consumer base has developed. International companies are also expanding their operations in India to service this massive growth opportunity. Notable examples of international companies that have done well in India in the recent years include Pepsi, Coca­Cola, McDonald’s, and Kentucky Fried Chicken, whose products have been well accepted by Indian at large.
