This story brings out focus on some of the Indian-Offshore giants coming to the US next neighbour Canada and setting their roots there. For anybody who’s unaware of the potential which the Indian industry has to offer clearly can get some idea in this story. For India itself a great amount of work is left to be done. Company’s like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, GE, Accenture aren’t setting up their offices and creating development centers there for offshoring work of US or Europen markets; in fact, the great deal of work is going to come vice-versa back to US/Canada for that matter. So all the hoopla about ‘our’ jobs being stolen might have a second tune to it. As for right now one needs to wait and watch the ball rolling.
