India remains the top global offshore outsourcing destination today. However, China is catching up fast on the back of strong governmental support, says reports.
Having the right combination of cheap resources and robust technology infrastructure for an offshoring destination, India is expected to pick up the lion's share of global offshore spending on IT services and is predicted to touch $50 billionn by the end of 2007.
