Citigroup close to Indian outsourcing unit sale

Citigroup, the US bank that has posted billion dollar writedowns since the credit crunch struck last summer, is reportedly close to selling its Indian outsourcing unit to a division of local conglomerate Tata.

The bank may announce the sale of Citigroup Global Services to Tata Consultancy Services, a software services exporter, within three weeks, according to India's Economic Times, citing a source close to the matter.
