I came across an article which details an interesting problem BPO operators in Dehli (India) are facing. Apparently the local government has introduced a complete ban on diesel cabs in early May. The problem for the BPO industry is that the major industry players are using those cabs to ferry their female workers back home during nighttime hours. (there seems to be a requirement to provide safe transportation).
It is a classic example of the law of unintended consequences....cleaner air is certainly needed in Dehli but it looks like no one really thought about the impact it might bring to the local outsourcing industry (which is the biggest employer).
What might sound like a trivial issue at first glance in now going all the way to the Supreme Court over there.
