Visa woes: Singapore blocks visas to Indian IT professionals (ache din agaye hain:)

[jetray]

Why would Singapore need IT professionals to start with. The country is like an extra large airport.

25 years back it would have made sense to have offices in singapore but not any more.
Even data centers now are being set up in India instead of going to singapore. Singapore will be good as a transit point but not choice of employment.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

They have found pakistan for it.

Let me make this clear. In so far as Pakistan is looked on as infested with terrorism and no amount of contrary pleading is going to change that perception, India is looked down as the "open pooping capital" of the world. Indians are simply just too uncivilized to have learnt simple hygiene manners. The entire nation is out there crapping in the open and the world is now fully aware of this. Hell even the Africans hide behind some leaves.

So get used to being Pooping champions of the world - India shining indeed !

With the number of Indians in the world, The thing is you cannot run away from it. So first of all get used to the stench.

Second your companies cannot compete with the competition if not for Indians. Indians dont get visa any more for being cheap labor we get it because you guys are incompetent.

In another news, let me refrain from naming the organization, 1 multi billion dollar organization has just started operations in your country and unfortunately is being managed wholesome from India only. Now cry me a river

You mean Indians with fake degrees?

Singapore is the regional transit hub.

Of course companies would setup offices in Singapore. What a dumb comment

Their biggest giant in IT was distributing fake degrees all over the world

India, Land of the High Threshold for Tolerating Shame.
Singapore started from 1965, and India from 1947, and where are we now.
Singapore is tiny with little land for development.
India is big country and huge population with vast cultural sites and yet Singapore attract more tourist than India.

Singapore survive by always moving on.
Welcome to compete with Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Philippines and others to take over our 2nd hand industries and offices that needed to relocate to 3rd world low wages countries like India.

Data centers are in Singapore because of our excellent infrastructure and high speed internet.
We are not interested in Call Center jobs.
Not sure they want to relocate to where the people have "High Threshold for Tolerating STENCH"
.

Its beneath me why these these Indian would even have the cheek to make a comparison between the 2 nation and without feeling a tiny bit of shame

I guess that why they have to bash Pakistan to make them feel good about themselves while getting all jealous about the success story of its immediate neighbor

Indian IT Hits Worst Slump In 7 Years: Foreign Media
Software services exports are experiencing their longest slump in seven years, which could blow the current account deficit to the widest since 2013 and pressure the rupee.

Indian policy makers are also bracing for a hit where it hurts the most: jobs.

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Infosys' Vishal Sikka's resignation masks the rot in India's IT sector
2. India's tech industry is the country's largest private sector employer
3. Employment was PM Modi's key pledge when he swept to power in 2014

The resignation of Vishal Sikka as chief executive officer of India's bellwether technology company masks the rot in India's once feted export sector.

While Sikka cited heightened acrimony with a cohort of founders at Infosys Ltd., the malaise is much deeper, and threatens to become a faultline for Asia's No. 3 economy. Software services exports are experiencing their longest slump in seven years, which could blow the current account deficit to the widest since 2013 and pressure the rupee. Policy makers are also bracing for a hit where it hurts the most: jobs.

"Indian service companies gained scale over the last decade as the disrupters, creating the modern offshoring industry, but they are now the incumbents, challenged by a slew of specialized and niche start-ups bred in this new environment," Arvind Subramanian, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's top economic adviser, said in his economic survey published this month. Growing anti-globalization tendencies "in the U.S. during and after elections and the Brexit referendum" also threaten Indian jobs, he said.


Employment was Modi's key pledge when he swept to power in 2014 and will probably emerge as a top issue in 2019 elections. India's tech industry is the country's largest private sector employer, and Indian engineers had become ubiquitous to the point of parody in TV shows and books over the past decade. They are also crucial dollar-earners, with services exports helping offset a goods-trade deficit. But part of their appeal was that they came cheap, making them the target of public anger as wages plunged in developed economies.


India's economic survey cited President Donald Trump's 'Buy American, Hire American' executive order and the U.K.'s increase in visa costs as factors limiting the free movement of Indian engineers. Moreover, automation threatens 69 percent of jobs in India, according to a 2016 World Bank report. Executive search firm Head Hunters India estimates that 175,000 to 200,000 technology jobs will be lost in the country each year through 2020, and newspapers are rife with reports of mass layoffs in the sector.

"Hiring momentum remains slow," NASSCOM, which represents India's $154 billion information technology and business-process management industry, said in its review for the April-June quarter. However incremental revenue was the strongest in four years and global activity is recovering, it said.

The recovery won't be strong enough to meet India's needs. Teresa John, a Mumbai-based economist at brokerage Nirmal Bang, predicts the current account deficit will balloon to 1.9 percent of gross domestic product in the year through March 2018, potentially weakening the rupee.

"The invisibles surplus, which has traditionally offset India's trade deficit, is facing structural headwinds on account of the decline in software exports as well as remittances from oil-dependent Gulf countries," she said.

Infosys is India's second-largest software exporter. Started in 1981 by seven engineers, it's now a company with a net profit of $2 billion and revenue of over $10 billion this year and almost 200,000 employees -- mainly based in Bengaluru, India's Silicon Valley. The company has been trying to haul itself out of a growth slowdown through job cuts and investment into news areas such as data analytics.

Sikka had created a new business line that accounts for 50 percent of Infosys's incremental revenues over the past two financial years, while traditional businesses grew just 4 percent, said Rahul Jain, an analyst at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd. India's net services exports were $5.9 billion dollars in June, little changed from the previous month.

"Services exports have remained stagnant since early 2017," said Dhananjay Sinha, an economist at Emkay. "We maintain that India's current account deficit will widen."

China would be wise to do the same. But mainland Chinese not as wise as Singapore Chinese

Your glasses are the fogged by the excretion and for the rest

*Ahem* Meanwhile, Canada opens new channel for software engineers and alike to go, work and live there. Its called Global Talent Stream and one can get a work permit and visa in just 2 weeks. So Chingapore and suck it. When their economy will go down, they will again open up their work visa etc etc. Meanwhile, Canda and Japan it will be.

They are freaken wrong. If anything, recruitment drives are becoming bigger and bigger here in B'lore. If you are a software engineer, you can get a job in just one week. If you are a manager, you gotta retrain. Jobs are being lost but more jobs are being created at the same time. Net results a crunch of engineers. INR 40 L for a 4-5 years work ex gal/guy is pretty easy.
