White Paper: Why Indian Software Outsourcing Companies are Outsourcing to China
By Paul M. Denlinger
This white paper examines some of the unique challenges Indian software companies are facing:
- The decreasing talent pool;
- Rising costs;
- Insufficient infrastructure and;
- Not enough time to train and build infrastructure
It then shows how China is the answer to their problems because:
- It has only talent pool which is large enough to compare to India’s;
- The local talent pool is still largely untapped in the second-tier cities;
- Ten cities have targeted software development as part of their development initiatives;
- Good universities provide strong training and basic skills;
- English and communication skills are swiftly catching up.
