Offshoring to India will sharply ramp up next year after US elections are over

If you think this is a year of impressive growth for offshoring to India, as has been signaled by the first quarter financial results, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Western firms and independent IT vendors are for the most part marking time, waiting for the US elections to be over. The jobs traveling to India are mainly resulting from the need to take care of growth and attrition and little because of layoffs.

If this is the optimistic scenario for IT services, for ITES or BPO the potential for growth of offshoring is even greater. So far only a small part of BPO services has migrated to India, dominated mainly by call centre work.

But call centre work is only 3 per cent of the universe of BPO work. “The major challenge and potential lies in getting a slice of the remaining 97 per cent,” says Vashisth.

In software, the ramp up in the immediate future is likely to take the form of the $100-500 million multi-year deals looking to come to India. There is nothing amiss in the ramp up for Indian companies being incremental in nature as that is also the pace being adopted by MNC vendors with captives in India.

1. This is a question Kerry should ask aWol liar during the debates!

Kerry War Hero: "Mr. aWol liar, what is your projection for outsourcing of American jobs in 2005 and 2006?"


aWol liar hiding in TX Guard doing cocaine and booze who wasted all the US Tax Payers money: "Daaaaaaaaa"

Kerry Vietnam Combat Veteran: "You're the pResident, this is your job to know. Looks like you're doing the same kind of economic planning and your Iraq planning!"

2. I think this is a bit oversimplified....

Indian does not have the same rules and regulations to protect IP. Plus companies can easily be penetrated by terroirst organizations from neighboring Pakistan.

3. Kerry to Bush: Your* LARGEST contributors continue to off-shore jobs

that Americans depend on to feed and clothe their families.

Why Mr. Bush do you continue to talk of leveling the playing field when your largest contributors continue to send American jobs OVERSEAS ?? You say one thing and your largest contributors do just the opposite, so how can American workers expect YOU to have any influence after this next election if you obviously have NO influence now, and you and your republican congress have ignored this for 4 years and continue to ignore it !!

Ask them that. Run an ad with that in it. There's my idea, free of fucking charge.
