Financial Times: Wipro plans to boost outsourcing to US

Wipro plans to open more centres in the US in a continuing trend of “reverse outsourcing”, as Indian information technology outsourcing companies recruit in the US and Europe.

Azim Premji, chairman of Wipro, India’s third-largest information technology outsourcing company, this week said it aimed to hire more than 1,000 people in the US to staff two new software development centres in Michigan and Atlanta.

Tata Consultancy Services, India’s leading outsourcing company, on Tuesday opened its first US centre near Cincinnati, Ohio, which has capacity for 1,000 employees.

    India is performing well in terms of Information technology… and it sounds so good that developing countries like the said country are not lagging behind when one speaks about the IT industry. I appreciate the thought that these kind of countries actually train individuals from developed nations such as the U.S. to enhance skills in information technology… I just do hope that like India, other developing countries might also be given broader opportunities to harness their potentials in contributing something for the benefit of the said industry as it delivers services to different businesses worldwide…. thank you and more power!!! 🙂

    Thanks L B. Prior to the unrest in Kenya there were stories about plans to copy what India had done. They share many of the advangtages India has. I haven’t heard so much since the unrest. Eventually I think we will see other India’s emerge.
