India Compared to Other Outsourcing Destinations

Numerous reports and studies in recent years have proved that India is the most attractive destination when it comes to outsourcing. Recently, AT Kearney released a report on the attractiveness of different countries for outsourcing and offshoring. This report placed India at the top for outsourcing, followed by China and Malaysia.

India was ranked the most attractive outsourcing destination because of its ample availability of skilled, talented and experienced resources. India’s low labor cost, high–end infrastructure, favorable tax and regulatory environment and financial structure are other factors that have made India an ideal outsourcing location.

Outsourcing Attractiveness of Offshore Locations

Varied factors, such as, education of human resources, availability of human resources, wages, cost considerations, taxes, infrastructure costs, intellectual right security and overall political stability were taken into consideration by AT Kearney to find the attractiveness index for each outsourcing country.
