"We are targeting to get about 15-20% of our $1 billion target from Blackstone companies. From 2007, we have had seven Blackstone firms as customers.Blackstone has put together 2-3 dedicated resources to help us get business from its portfolio firms. If we are able to bring efficiencies to their companies, it will bring greater value for Blackstone," said Susir Kumar, executive chairman of Intelenet Global services. 

Kumar and his team have already scaled up Intelenet's revenues from Blackstone's portfolio companies like Hilton Hotels and Travelport. 
Intelenet is one of India's biggest BPO firms, employing 55,000 people across 66 global delivery centres. The firm had $400 million in revenue last year.
