India is the talk of the World

Well its been some time now that India has been in the lime light of the World. Thanks to outsourcing. India has become the ousourcing power house for the whole World. I came across a funny thing that had happened in my office( which also happens to have a seperate department for Call center). In one of the project, a project manager(PM) was facing some problem, and since the project was handled by my organisation and another organisation, the PM called up the client manager to ask what he should be doing. For which the client manager gave him a support number in France. So the PM calls the number and talks to a support person. Soon he realised that he was able to hear the support person on the phone as well as diretcly from the neighbouring cubicle. So the PM stands up and peeps into the neighbouring cubicle. Guess what, the support is being done by my organisation and hence the call got forwarded to the neighbouring cubicle. This is heights of outsourcing I guess.

Interestingly Time magazine is going all gaga about India in its Asian version and regular(US) version. Time Asia talks about the remaking of India. It talks a lot about Mumbai.
Time(US) talks about India Awakens, Hooray to Bollywood, Outsourcing, In search of next Bangalore etc.

Varta...
