The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM has now lowered the exports growth forecast to 12-14% for FY2015-16. Its growth forecast for FY2014-15 was 13-15%. It said that global information technology and business process management spending had risen by 4.6% and the BPO spending had grown by 9-10% last year.
