In this 10 minute podcast (download iPod compatible, 51MB), Victor Naidu describes the dynamics of offshoring software development to India. Victor originated in India and still has deep roots there. He has competed in providing offshoring services, but has pulled back from that market for the following reasons:
- It's dominated by large firms managed from India. Located in India, firms can better manage and find talent.
- Victor does not compete on a cost basis, so billing his services as cheaper does not fit with his overalll business model.
In addition, Victor notes that the cost advantage of India is less than it once was, pegging total cost of services from India at 60% to 70%, corresponding with observations by other knowledgeable sources.
One area where Victor continues to compete is in business process outsourcing which includes a major service component where his firm might have an advantage.
