India's Talent Shortage

Sectors like IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) are simply outpacing the availability of talent in India
There could be as many as 50,000 foreigners working in India, as part of that country's IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, according to Australia's The Age newspaper. The article went on to cite research according to which India will need 160,000 workers with European language expertise by 2010, by which year only 40,000 Indians will have the requisite levels of expertise.
