1. BAPIO is a major non-profit organisation with the main purpose of supporting international graduates. The organisation carries a level of reputation and access to expertise that is not replicable across other suppliers. 2. BAPIO has access to expertise in providing induction and training within India. 3. BAPIO is experienced in managing the graduate applications process and conducting regular assessments for these candidates.
