Its Holi time on Outsourced
As India celebrates the colorful festival of Holi, the call center wages war with tech support over the air conditioning. Todd fights with another company that cut off All-American Novelties' access to the air conditioning in the building, while Rajiv tries to find an original way to propose to his girlfriend. U.S.-based Western Novelty decides to outsource its personnel to India and as a result a large number of employees are let go. When the call center Todd manages in Seattle is outsourced to India, Todd travels there to train his replacement. A lone American is supposed to manage the call center and must explain American popular culture to his employees.
Todd Anderson is instructed to travel to Gharapuri to train Purohit to replace him. He travels there via Mumbai, and finds his name comically mispronounced as 'Toad'. He finds that he must sensitize himself to the Indian culture before he could even think of Americanizing Purohit and his subordinates. Housed in a new building that looks like an above-ground bunker, the call center is staffed by willing novices whom Todd trains to sound American. With the assistance of the new Assistant Manager, Asha Bhatwadekar, he sets about learning about Devi Maa Kali, Bhagwan Shri Shankar, reveling in Holi festivities, common lingo, the importance of cows, and eating at Mac Donnel's. And he soon finds that a new 'India' has been discovered for outsourcing and what is meant by 'Holiday in Goa'. So to get your dose of laughter, tune in to Zee Café on 8th Feb, Wednesday at 11 PM.
