Offshoring

Post-Slowdown, Offshoring Gets New Urgency

Post-Slowdown, Offshoring Gets New Urgency - Industry leaders point out that start-ups looking at having centres in low-cost regions is an old trend. But what has changed now is the urgency with which companies are looking at this model. For start-ups, this model could save 30-40 per cent in costs, said industry experts

Is the Domestic Indian Outsourcing Market Poised for Rapid Growth?

Strong Rupee. Weak Dollar

A rooftop dealer who fixes expensive and exclusive rooftops for houses in Manhattan, New York is worried about the stock market falls in Asia. What's the connection?

Offshoring the Offshored

“In 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail for India, going west. He had the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He never did find India, but he called the people he met 'Indians' and came home and reported to his king and queen: 'The world is round.' I set off for India 512 years later. I knew just which direction I was going. I went east. I had Lufthansa business class, and I came home and reported only to my wife and only in a whisper: 'The world is flat.'
Extracted from “The world is flat”, by Thomas L. Friedman (2005)
