The answer is ‘INDIA’, when the question emerges as, “Which country is best for Outsourcing?”. According to A.T. Kearney’s survey on ‘Preferred Outsourcing Countries in 2020’, India tops the chart followed by China, Malaysia, Indonesia.

Why Outsourcing?                                                                         

These days, much of software and IT related work is outsourced to countries such as India, Singapore and Chine. This is mainly due to the fact that the workers there deliver good quality work at a lower price. Thus many companies are benefiting from this outsourcing work.                                                                                     

As many as 400 companies outsource their work regularly to China and India. The main outsourcing countries are UK and other European countries apart from USA.

 

The Main Agenda:- Cost Effectiveness                               

When it comes to manufacturing, auto components, textiles are the most outsourced items. Many companies outsource more than 50% of their work essentially due to low labor cost in the other country. For ex: a company like BMW outsources its component requirements to India basically to cut down its costs. In addition, if a company has to manufacture on its own, it has to incur a huge capital expenditure also on the machinery. Therefore, they resort to outsourcing the work to competent companies based in the countries where the cost of labor is quite low.

The Conclusion:-                                                                  

Outsourcing has become a standard way of doing business in this global economy. Many people will argue that it’s not fair to outsource jobs to foreign countries. These foolish people don’t understand the fact that our economy is global and if a country’s companies cannot compete on a global basis by employing the most economical resources than the jobs lost to outsourcing will eventually be lost anyway. In the second scenario, however, the entire company is lost.

So the equation becomes simple, when it comes to outsourcing, choose INDIA..choose IDSS Global..!!
