This time-tested model of Indian IT companies may be dead

IT services sector’s time-tested model of deploying Indian talent for projects onshore is no more relevant as immigration issues are real in the US, said Sandeep Kishore, CEO, Zensar Technologies.
The IT services industry executive believes the model of building a business by sending technology talent from India is “dead” and despite India’s disproportionate advantage in terms of talent among other English-speaking countries, IT services companies need to have a hybrid model of Indian and US experts to solve complex problems.
“The immigration situation is a real situation (in the US). You really cannot build a business by shipping people. That is a dead model. You got to create local capacity,” Kishore told ET in an interview.
