In the early 2000’s, many analyst models predicted that the US labor arbitrage incentive for outsourcing work to India would have run out of steam by 2017, but Everest Group recently revised its forecast, saying that train may still be running strong in 25 to 30+ years.
“India is still a highly attractive and viable option for low-cost labor, albeit not quite as good as it was 15 years ago, but still very compelling, and it will likely remain so for another three decades,” said Michel Janssen, chief research guru at Everest Group.
