Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.

(a) On April 21, 2008, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) was notified on behalf of the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) of eTelecare Global Solutions, Inc. (the Company)
that E&Y was dismissed as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
E&Ys report on the Companys financial statements for the past two years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the
subsequent period through April 21, 2008, the Company did not have any disagreements (as defined in
Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K)
with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would
have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
report. Also during this period, there have been no reportable events as that term is described in
Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided E&Y with a copy of these disclosures and has requested that E&Y furnish
the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it
agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. This
letter from E&Y is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
(b) As a result of a competitive request for proposal process undertaken by the Audit Committee,
the Company approved KPMG LLP (KPMG) as the Companys independent registered accounting firm for
the year ending December 31, 2008. This appointment is subject to KPMG successfully completing its
client intake procedures. In deciding to select KPMG, the Audit Committee reviewed auditor
independence issues and existing commercial relationships with KPMG and concluded that KPMG has no
commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence. The Company did not
engage KPMG in any prior consultations during the Companys fiscal years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006 or the subsequent period through the date of the filing of this current report on Form 8-K
regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys
consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor
oral advice was provided that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in
reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any
matter that was the subject of either a disagreement (as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) of
Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event
(as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K).
