Frank Prempeh, CEO of Corpshore Solutions, returned to the Outsource Accelerator Podcast to discuss the BPO’s expansion into Uzbekistan, where it became the first Canadian outsourcing firm to set up. From the country’s deeply multilingual, Silk Road workforce to the AI-driven demand for non-English data annotation, Frank lays out a clear case for Central Asia as the next major outsourcing destination.
In this episode, Frank explains why Uzbekistan’s linguistic depth — English, French, Russian, Persian, Turkic and Korean influences — positions it uniquely for AI data annotation in languages the traditional nearshore hubs cannot cover. He also breaks down salary ranges, 24/7 infrastructure, low attrition, and why Corpshore became the first Canadian BPO to incorporate in the country (in Samarkand).
This conversation builds on Corpshore’s on-the-ground launch in Central Asia — see our short video, “Welcome to Corpshore Uzbekistan.”
