Maybe they've figured out how to let an AI answer the phones. All you need is
text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and the script the outsourced semi-trained
monkeys would have been using.

Or maybe they've not been outsourced at all, and 'Mumbai' is the codeword for
the data center, and it's all a coverup because even outsourcing a job is an
easier PR job than replacing somebody with a robot/computer. ;)
