Murg,
I’m not sure how much business Indian vendors can get from non US and UK customers. Yes, there are opportunities in countries like Japan, France, Middle-East, Germany, etc, but not sure the volume of business they get from these countries. You have limited marketing budget and you need to use it to get maximum value out of it.

HI, All the point you provided are good except the following: I don’t agree with your suggestion that Indian outsource companies shouldn’t market their services to non US countries. I think it is a good strategy to target non-US customers in fact they’re already started targeting countries like Japan to get outsource business from them. Check out this article

Hi Mark, I agree with you, Green Outsourcing is going to be big in the coming years; new government under President Obama will put lot of pressure for companies to go for green computing and outsource vendors who embrace green outsourcing will benefit by getting more businesses from US customers. Companies like IBM and Accenture have already launched green computing initiatives and other vendors must also do so.

Good Blog, but you missed one point, with new President Obama there will be lot more initiatives from companies to go for green computing. Indian outsource companies must adapt to green computing to win more customers and it is their social responsibility to the community. Soon companies will add “green clauses” in their outsource contract and all the outsource companies must practice green outsourcing.
