Why India for Outsourcing?

When global companies decide to outsource their IT and business process, the first thing springs to mind is India. India is now the most preferred choice and has become the hub of business process outsourcing industry. There are good reasons why India is the first choice and let us have a look at few of them.

Cost-effective

Though the cost of living in India has increased a lot in the last decade or so, still the costs are much lesser when compared to the west. India offers the cost savings of 50% or more with an improved quality of service and is hard to ignore this fact when taking a decision on outsourcing.

While bigger Indian cities like Bangalore, Delhi and Chennai are focussed on IT outsourcing services, the slightly smaller cities like Coimbatore, Pune are Cochin are well equipped for the business process outsourcing services.

High quality of service

Traditionally, quality comes at a cost, but in this case India offers an improved quality of service at a reduced cost. This is a definite win-win situation and is very hard to resist.

There is good pool of talent from the entry level to the top management levels. So when it comes to high quality man power, India enjoys an incredible advantage over other outsourcing destinations.

Language advantage

English is the most widespread language in India and has the world’s largest English speaking population because of its history as a British colony for well over two centuries. English is not just taught like a language as in other countries, but is the preferred medium of education in the Indian system. This gives all the personnel a very good grasp of the language and it nuances.

Right from the planning stage, all the way through the execution, ease of communication is an important requirement in outsourcing and you will get the same with the Indian outsourcing provider.

Time zone advantage

There is a time difference from 5 to 12 hours between India and USA and Europe.  In this time and age, it is excellent advantage. The companies from USA and Europe that outsource their work to India can almost work 24 hrs if they set-up Indian offshore centres. Especially for time bound projects, the large part of work will be completed and reports ready even before the day starts.

Stable & supportive government

India is the world’s largest democracy and one of the world’s most stable governments. IT & IT enabled services has been the top most priority for the Indian government in recent years. India has been rated to have the best investment potential in the emerging economies by various independent studies. India’s economy is growing very fast for the past decade and has been yet another reason why companies are outsourcing to India.

World’s preferred choice – INDIA

With so many benefits, India has become the preferred choice destination for global organizations. Various independent studies clearly indicate India as the highest ranked outsourcing destination and it beats the nearest competitors by a huge margin.

In USA, more than 80% have ranked India as their first choice destination for outsourcing software and IT enabled services. Europe after a sceptical beginning now has started sending more and more outsourcing projects to India. The world now recognises India as an outsourcing superpower.
