BPO v/s KPO
What is BPO?
Business Process Outsourcing or BPO is outsourcing of some of the business functions to a
third party in order to save money. It usually consists of the back office or front office operations.
While front office services are related to client interaction and customer support, back office
services are related to finance and HR. If outsourcing is done to a company situated outside the
parent company's country, it is known as offshore outsourcing.
What is KPO?
Knowledge Process Outsourcing or KPO is a subset of BPO. KPO involves outsourcing of core
functions which may or may not give cost benefit to the parent company but surely helps in
value addition. The processes which are outsourced to KPOs are usually more specialized and
knowledge based as compared to BPOs. Services included in KPO are related to R&D, Capital
and insurance market services, legal services, biotechnology, animation and design, etc. are the
usual activities that are outsourced to KPOs. LPO or Legal Process Outsourcing is special type
of KPO dealing with legal services.

Coupe
A coupe is generally thought of as a closed-body style, 2-door car, often sporty in nature. A
coupe generally has either 2 seats, or 4 seats placed in a 2+2 configuration, meaning that there
are only 2 seats in the rear (as opposed to the standard 3,) and those seats are smaller than
average. To comfortably sit in a 2+2-style rear seat, you must either be a small child, or an adult
who happens to be missing your legs.
Technically, a coupe is defined as a fixed-top car with less than 33 cubic feet of rear interior
volume. Typically a car with less than 33 cubic feet of rear interior volume has only two doors,
hence the common practice of associating two doors with the term coupe. However, there are
plenty of vehicles out there which have only two doors but more than 33 cubic feet in the rear.
These cars, while their manufacturers may call them coupes, are technically two-door sedans.
Sedan
We generally associate sedans with larger, 4-door, closed-roof cars that can comfortably sit 4 or
5. A good way to recognize a sedan is by its fixed B-pillar between the front and rear windows.
Alternatively to a coupe, a sedan is technically defined as any closed-roof car with greater than
or equal to 33 cubic feet of rear interior volume.

fantasy league
A fantasy sport (also known as rotisserie, roto, or fairy-tale sport; or owner simulation) is a game
where fantasy owners build a team that competes against other fantasy owners based on the
statistics generated by individual players or teams of a professional sport. Probably the most
common variant converts statistical performance into points that are compiled and totaled
according to a roster selected by a manager that makes up a fantasy team. These point
systems are typically simple enough to be manually calculated by a "league commissioner."
More complex variants use computer modeling of actual games based on statistical input
generated by professional sports. In fantasy sports there is the ability to trade, cut, and sign
players, like a real sports owner, its like fantasy team you made for IPL
