Westerners outsourcing themselves

For many decades, highly skilled graduates of India’s took jobs in many western countries, helping fuel the high-tech boom. For many years, US firms were wooing India’s computer science graduates with lucrative job offers and a chance to live in USA. Now, it’s India’s turn, many young Westerners especially Americans are discovering India as a land of economic opportunity. Currently, more than 10,000 American expatriates work in India for Indian information technology consulting and other outsourcing firms, a number that is expected to grow. So can we call it start of IND-US civilization?

 

More Americans are going with the flow of jobs to India, and finding challenge and opportunity!

NEW DELHI — Going halfway around the world for a job that pays about $11,000 a year hardly sounds like a great career move for an Ivy League graduate.

But for Michael Delfs, the chance to work in India and see the country’s economic boom for himself was all the incentive he needed. In August, Delfs, 26, became one of many foreign workers outsourcing themselves to India, following the explosion in jobs in one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

“Going to India and actually seeing what was happening seemed like a good idea,” said Delfs, who graduated from Columbia University last spring and estimates he could have made about $100,000 in a job in the West.

From golf to yoga: how India treats its troops

If you are looking for better and disciplined life and of course good future join Indian Army. Indian Army is short of about 11000 officers as many young generations today are choosing to join private sector in order to get more wages and lavishing life. Of course private sector does gives you bit more money but Army career also gives you loads of benefits and on top of that will make you a disciplined and honorable person.

India’s large section of society still thinks that career in military is all about War and War. So you want an Army career huh? Good for you soldier! Huh? You don’t want to be a soldier? Um well…..that’s OK too!

Perhaps the common (mis)conception or misunderstanding of a military career is that you have to be a solider. That isn’t the case. Indian Army provides numerous roles from very diverse field to support its front line troops. Indian Army is diverse organization and recognizes the need for numerous different roles. Admin, doctors, engineers, mechanics, teachers, human resources, officers, IT professional, and much other discipline are put to use within the military.

Indian Army has very good benefits packages and healthcare, and although the obvious hazards of the job are there, the life of a military career isn’t as extreme as one might imagine.

Certainly a career in the army isn’t for everyone – but there is a much wider scope of careers available than many people realize. Definitely worth a look the following website even if you not very much interested in career with Indian Army.

FORGET the call centre in Bangalore or the software laboratory in Hyderabad. If you’re looking for the good life, join the Indian Army today!

Such is the message of a slick new television advertisement launched by the army to try to revamp its image and reverse a brain drain to the burgeoning private sector.

It shows officers living in idyllic country cottages, trying their hands at golf, sailing and fencing, and unwinding at extravagant garden parties.
