With the increase in globalization of commerce and corporations, “outsourcing” has acquired a new dimension. By outsourcing non-core business operations to service providers at a lower cost, companies are increasingly inclined to focus on their core competencies and face the emerging competitive environment. A significant combination of factors such as low-cost, a large pool of educated, English-speaking professionals coupled with India's time zone position (it is 9.5 hours ahead of US EST and 5.5 hours GMT) as well as an increasing evolution to form strategic alliances has made India an increasingly popular choice for outsourcing. The label of India as “the Export Launching Pad” highlights how several global enterprises are capitalizing on the low costs and, increasingly, using India for manufacturing activities with an intent to not only cater to the estimated 350 million Indian middle class, but, export to the West.
