India to bag 40% of jobs lost to layoffs globally

being a part of the IT sector...

I could say that the Indian IT business has advanced significantly over the last 7-8 years. Previously, there was no such thing as serious security or cyber security.

However, businesses like Wipro, TCS, and Infosys are flourishing at the moment and are catching up quickly in IT security. I also can say that many foreign businesses are now employing workers remotely rather than constructing brand-new, large IT branches in India and providing WFO completely by facilitating them with tables, seats, electric inverters, etc (additional amount).

It is still unclear to me why Indian IT is so successful compared to many other countries... Is it the education system or the incompletion of others that accounts for this...
There is a hr term called ROE. Return on Employee.
Its the mount of profit you make on spending on an IT employee.
Its 1:4 in the US, 1:5 in china, 1:5 in philipines, 1:7 in india.

Different studies have different metrics but you get the gist of it.
 
No, it had nothing to do with revenue and all. Recession, inflation was just optics to replace the bad apples with good apples in bulk. But what happened is, removing the bad apples was easier than finding a good replacement for them in the US. So the replacement job has been outsourced to India. They will still pay top dollars for the replacement but the replacement have to be good apples with latest technical knowledges.

Time will tell - i think you are being overly optimistic.

Experts say that 30-40% of the more than 300,000 technology jobs lost to layoffs globally could move to outsourcing hubs like India in the coming months.

A lot of these jobs are likely to be redistributed across the existing workforce of large tech companies in India, they said.

Sanjay Shetty, director-professional search and selection, Randstad India, expects 30-40% of tech jobs that were cut globally to move to India by 2024-25.

"India is going to be the biggest gainer in the medium to long term, as almost every company that we speak to is looking at expanding its India base,” Shetty told ET.

Over the last year, global technology companies and technology service arms of multinationals such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Salesforce have announced multiple rounds of layoffs. So have large banking and telecom majors.

Data from staffing firm Xpheno shows that while the India workforce of big tech companies accounts for about 17% of their global staff strength, it has grown by 35% in the last 12 months compared with 12% headcount addition in the rest of the world.

The banking, financial services and insurance sector saw the next highest growth in headcount at 21%.

According to data from tech industry body Nasscom, India has more than 2,700 global capability centre (GCC) units, of which more than 65% are of US-headquartered companies. The Indian GCCs cohort added a little over 150,000 employees to grow from 1.45 million in fiscal 2022 to 1.6 million by end fiscal 2023, said Kamal Karanth, cofounder, Xpheno.

"While companies are facing a slowdown in North America and the Europe-UK markets, they are keen on improving their profitability through more work addressed out of India centres,” Shetty said.

He added that since several multinationals have a large number of in-house delivery and capability centres based out of India, there is a higher level of work moving to the country. This is despite labour arbitrage between India and other countries reducing over the years.

"A dipstick of 25 Indian bellwether GCCs and their affiliates across banking, big tech, Big Four consultancies and pharmaceuticals sector shows a significant concentration of hiring action in India versus their rest of world locations,” said Karanth. “The list also includes big tech players who have announced waves of layoffs globally and some in India as well.”

Neeti Sharma, president and cofounder of Teamlease Edtech, said many companies have started upskilling and reskilling their employees to take over roles--in part or entirely--for the jobs rationalised elsewhere.

She said companies are looking at adding freshers and lateral hires. “It is not feasible to shift every role. But we see demand for entry level roles which require up to three months of skilling. In addition, existing employees are also being upskilled to deliver part of the roles that can be delivered remotely,” Sharma said.
Ofcourse, you are not counting the Indians who were fired, right?
 
Outsourcing is fast being replaced by AI…These outlandish predictions.

LOL

India is way below on the Index for Easy of doing Business.

Jobs from China are moving to Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Bangladesh but not to India.

Tesla still makes cars in China and not in India.

Yes, also the current regime in the US is teaching its population to live off of social security benefits and not seek jobs. This is one of the reason, unemployment rate is so low in the US.

Also H1B was a political talking point because, it had a physical presence of numerous brown people infiltrating in every sector of jobs in the US. These outsourcing jobs don't have any optical presence which can't be exploited by politicians.

Don't share your ignorance Social Security benefits are for the retired people and not for the younger people.

Exactly. Indians are simply oblivious to what is coming their way.

Time will tell - i think you are being overly optimistic.

Indians always talk big and live in their La La Land.

Not completely, still, a long way to go.

Zero trust and other new technologies are introduced recently but still, most are unable to adopt it

Antivirus - progress from traditional Av to EDR to XDR.... But still need humans to monitor & do the deep analysis. The same goes for SIEM tools, WAF etc ....
 
Only low iq North Indians and Gujaratis will fall for this

Modi promised to create 2 crore jobs every year. And they believed him.
 
you're fast becoming the new @jamahir bhikari with your one agenda and repeating shite ad nauseam.

shame, we had higher hopes from you, Nilu.
Bhakts love the taste of 56's man juice.

I am not into that shiet.

Seriously, man, practically every time you post, your remarks cause others to smile.
Then keep smiling.


You'll be sobbing nonstop once the BJP wins the 2024 elections and completely wrecks the economy.
 
which Thackrey do you prefer ?
Thread has descended into madness, but I'll entertain it.
If a chai wala can become the PM, who's to say that king Charles can't reinstate the British Raj?

I'm sure the GOP will bend over to repay their british masters and invade India for british interests
