Joy and a moment of Pride for patriotic Indians! The well-known secret behind this "Globalization": 1. An american software developer gets around 80000 dollars per annum, while the same job, if contracted offshore to an Indian developer, can be done with a salary of 6000 dollars per annum - a little less than a tenth paid to the american "counterpart". 2. Onsite rates at which consultants from AA, EDS... etc go are in the range of 40$ to 120$ per hour, while the same job, if contracted to an Indian company sending its "ass-ociate" onsite with an H1 or an L1, can be done for 20$ to 80$ per hour. 3. Exported products, (like Coffee, Sugar, Cotton... to name a few) if available in India, cost more, not because they are "good", but because they are "export quality". 4. Quarterly earnings of the leading IT and ITES companies in India sometimes fall short of their guidance value; because the dollar loses to the rupee. 5. No, let us leave this Coca Cola, Pepsi, McDonalds and Monsanto for another session. Once upon a time, there were four rascals - A, B, C and D. All of them hated each other and had their own territories for doing their business - looting public money. Suddenly and Lo, A and B joined together and so did C and D. Let us give them a name - "coalition partners" AB and CD. For quite some time, AB and CD were doing good business - looting public money - and everything was fine. Suddenly and Lo, A and C joined together and so did B and D. Okay, relax, have faith in Nature, and rename them as "coalition partners" AC and BD. Again, the business is good - looting public money - everything was fine. Suddenly and Lo, "seeds" from A, B, C and D start sprouting, and newborns come unto this world - let us call them E, F, G and H. The cycle repeats, this time, among 8 of them instead of 4, with a "matrix" relationship with all possible perms and combs. This time, in addition to minding their own business - looting public money - A, B, C, D, E, F and G do another interesting job: listing out criminal allegations against each other. Hey, who said anything is wrong? Of course, India is shining! It is how you see it. Everything is a state of mind. MSS Yahoo!
