India’s Labor Arbitrage Strategy

I agree with Srama Mitra on most of her view points. On a long term, I agree, we cannot sustain 15% hikes, because in the next 5-7 years the cost will outweigh the benefit. That doesn't suggest that Indian should be paid well for their hard work. The tone here is consistensy and sustaining the value we create now.

Despite out ability in management and other areas, India is still viewed as a back office operations center by big blues. Sramana's article proposes solution in a way that we continue that momentum while getting a generation past a major downturn. Keep this mind. What goes up fast will come down fast. We don't want our fellow Indians to be in such roller coaster rides.
