The acclaimed consulting firm AT Kearney has recently released reports that confirm India’s position as the world’s favourite back-office. India’s deep skill sets and low cost services have been the main cause for India’s success as an outsourcing destination.
India is closely followed by China and Malaysia in the top 3 slots of AT Kearney’s 2012 Global Services Location Index (GSLI). All of the top 3 countries have enjoyed high rankings since the GLSI started in 2003, mainly because these three nations have large talent pools and low cost advantages.
Among these nations, India stands out as a leader, because the country is able to provide skilled manpower for any type of offshore service. Even after years of outsourcing, India continues to maintain a lion’s share of the world’s IT services market.
AT Kearney’s reports further states that India has proven itself as a leader in all dimensions of the outsourcing industry. India has raced ahead of other offshore locations by being a preeminent leader in all offshore services.

India’s advantages have made the nation an unquestioned leader, with half a point ahead of China and a full point ahead of Malaysia.
