This is an updated version of the earlier text and although republished in 2006 is still, in most respects, a valued insight into the “up and coming” role of India. Readers, particularly those who are especially involved with management will now be extremely interested in books that deal with the predicted new market leaders such as India and China. India is undoubtedly a leader for off‐shore IT‐enabled services and this book aims to:

• •

  introduce the major players in the Indian service industry;

• •

  explain why companies should utilize India as an off‐shore; outsourcing destination; and

• •

  provide information needed about how to find and work with a local Indian partner.

This second edition has been completely revised the publishers claim, with up‐to‐date information on the latest state of development in the country. Progress is such in the IT world that any book that purports to give current data has to be treated with much care. Even so this book still offers valuable information about the IT‐enabled service industries in this continent The current second edition is a useful text for anyone who is looking to the future for involvement with a country that is already making its mark in IT and offers potentially not only a flourishing market but also growing pool of IT workers.
