The Two Sides of Outsourcing in India

Filed in archive Outsourcing Issues on October 18, 2007

We all know that India is still considered as the priority when it comes to outsourcing destination, the only problem here is that whether or not the country lives up to their expectation. For the past years, India has been growing steadily and even if that is a good thing, it also yields different disadvantages in outsourcing.

These points were mentioned in this article entitled Indian Outsourcing Has Peaked. It enumerated the different glitches that India is experiencing in terms of living it up as a top outsourcing destination. Here are some of the things which was addressed:

The Rupee riddle - The rising value of the Indian Rupee against the US dollar continues to be a big problem for the Indian outsourcing industry.

Cost (In)Efficiency - There is also the rising value of wages thus prompting companies to think about outsourcing and if they are really saving a lot of money because of it.

That Age-Old Infrastructure - India's ability to sustain is being questioned in this factor and if the country would be able to sustain the expected growth.

Though that is the case, India still has a lot to offer. The country just needs to overcome these disadvantages to grow more an outsourcing destination.

The outsourcing in India is still booming and companies are doing it in a different way. Global companies are opening more research centers and offices in India and hiring local talents. These activities are not considered outsourcing by most of us.

Outsourcing is the smarter way of applying the skills of our unemployed yet educated population.Our country has been outsourced to do work from different fields like animation , customer service, bank reconciliation, technical support and even Architecture.

offshore outsourcing is ideal and a blessing to most asian countries specially to most third world countries that considers unemployment a major problem. So many graduates with job opportunities so few. And so many computer savvy people who never had the chance to get through college due to financial restraints yet capable of getting the job done... I really think that this is a very good opportunity in helping people.

We have been outsourcing for several years to China with great results. We have found it to be very cost efficient in contrast to India.

I am not totally convinced that outsourcing into another country has to be the solution. We have many options in the US to outsource and save money while keeping the work in the country. Many US based companies can do it at competitive prices you just need to find the right Professional Employer Organization for your company.

This is true that Most of the company are offshoring their software product development work to India and other countries.

Why India is become Offshore Software development Hub?
1. India have has qualified professionals.
2. India have time zone advatntage as compare to other countries.
3. Saves manpower and training costs.
4. Improve speed and service.
5. Increased customer satisfaction.
6. Provides best quality service and products.

The articles and the responses are quite amazing. As we know, India is getting lots of outsourcing jobs from different countries. That's certainly proved that India provides quality job in due time.

However, Bangladesh is another country for quality IT outsourcing. In here, IT infrastructure has already been improved and qualified HR is cheap. Many companies in Bangladesh who do outsource with client satisfaction. Fact that the cost is relatively low if you wanna compare with any other countries. And it's my believe that Bangladesh firms/companies will receive more outsourcing jobs in near future.

While some IT outsourcing companies may be experiencing these problems, outsourcing still has a lot of benefits to offer. I hope that this will be enough to not scare off companies that wish to outsource.
