Why Nearshore? Cost
(Focus on India)

Rising attrition, wage inflation and skill shortages
      A victim of its own success, even in a recession
Indian skills lose their shine and quality dips
      More work, higher churn, less seniority
Customer issues challenge effective communication
      Language really and working culture
Service quality suffers from poor communication
      Deals don’t reflect cultural issues
Internal business stakeholders put up resistance
