Outsourcing businesses have experienced a massive increase and still expanding globally not just in India. Companies would still choose to outsource jobs to save money and for them to focus on doing other more important tasks.

While it may be drawing an end in India, don’t expect it to go away completely. See here for more info on my take on the whole situation:

There never was an outsourcing monopoly to begin with. I’m based in Ireland and I have outsourced development work to the US, Ireland, India and Romania. Who I outsource to depends upon 1) time to market, 2) technology, 3) the technical risks 4) cost and most of all 5) the level of detail that I have been able to incorporate into my requirements.

India was never going to be ideal for Madison Avenue given the need for face time between “creatives” and rapid requirements churn. The loss of this kind of contact does not spell doom for the Indian outsourcing industry.

I have visited the headquarters of the Indian big guys (Wipro, Tata Elxsi, etc) and I can tell you they have the capacity to take a lot of knocks during this recession and to come out the other end stronger and more effective. My belief is that a recession will help the big Indian players as it will destoy a lot of their cheaper local competition that is currently competing for graduates. It will also help them weed out a lot of the poorer employees that were recruited during the boom times.

How do we know that US is entering a recession? The numbers and pattern tell us that. For instance house sale is down and spending is crunched.

How can we say outsourcing to India is over just because of this one SC incident

If you look at the figures, India’ share of outsourcing pie is increasing phenomenally every year. Perhaps the wages have risen and attrition rate is very high, but still nobody is applying the brakes yet.

Tech hiring is extremely difficult lately. Anyone with a decent resume can get programming work in the U.S. People with basic computer and office skills are the ones who are having a tough time getting work these days.
