The 1990s presented a tough time for America as organizations faced a colossal skill gap due to the advent of the tech revolution. That’s when US employers first turned to Indian talent for assistance. Since then, the trend has only gotten more assertive, and today, India ranks among the most sought-after countries for offshore business services, especially in the tech field.
Offshoring to India helps businesses save up on a considerable amount of costs. Moreover, the benefits of offshoring to India go much beyond just monetary. India is the most attractive offshoring destination due to its people skills and availability, business environment, digital resonance, and, most importantly, financial competitiveness.

1 WORKER SALARIES
One of the most outsourced services in India is Software Development. The hourly wage of a developer in India is about three times lesser than that in the US, even with the same profile and job role. That’s because the cost of living in India is far less than in the US. According to livingcost.org, an American’s cost of living is about 79% more than that of Indians.
