So if you look at it from a British or American perspective, you will find it odd. Another example would be the word pre-pone. No such word actually exists in American or British English but it is used extensively in Indian English. So please revert in case you have any other questions :) As far as i know, the origin of this usage is Indian-English.

I have seen the usage of "revert" to mean acknowledge, reply, etc. in correspondence but never in a conversation. Please read a blog on the very same subject by NRIs (Non Resident Indians): http://www.the-nri.com/index.php/2010/09/indians-speaking-archaic-victorian-form-of-english/ Jason,
