General
about India
Globalization
The internet has made a bridge between all continents – and that led to the explosion of India’s IT industry.
Most of the industry consists of call centers, net-related products and software.
There is also a second important industry in India – Bollywood.
India’s annual export of IT component was around $50 million I 2008, and is still growing.
India I also a country, which many companies prefers to outsource to.
Society
Before the wireless phones and the development of the internet, India was in an economic black hole.
There were almost too many people, and not enough jobs.
Many young Indians started on an education – and now they have almost unlimited resources of experts.

Culture
The Indian culture can be compared with the chines’ culture – they both have the caste system.
Indians are very dutiful, and open-minded. They are just satisfied if they can make a small amount of money

Transformation
1947 India’s Independence
Very poor country in 1947. 25% live under the poverty line today. 1.25 dollars.
Life expectancy was 27.4 years in 1947. 64.7 today.
1947 approximately 152 died per 1000 born babies.
High amounts of famines occurred
Their literacy level was at 15%, which is low. 74% today
The first president after independence was Jawaharlal Nehru, who ruled India for 17 years.
Up until the early 90’s, the policy was social democratic. Little private sector. Highly skilled, still poor country and many rural living people.
Struggles in the 90’s made India more liberal. More competitive laws
India's Population in 2001 was 1.02 billion, which is 17.31% of the world’s population. Every 6th person lives in India. Fertility rates is 2.72
Population of India in 1947 350 million
Poverty mainly among the 64% that works in agriculture.
Information technology has been the cornerstone for the ruling party, as it leads to more wealth in the industry and service sector.
Even though India have bad infrastructure, the rural Indians are coming into the villages selling goods and they monitor prices.

Outsourcing
India’s industry
India´s
industry increased explosively
in the early 80´s, when the call-centers where established.
Call centers where customers can get advice and assistance to help, in some products could be phones, computers and so on.
The phoning assistance in India is cheaper, and also sometimes better, because the most workers in India have a college education, and the workers in USA only have a high school education. If the customer needs technical assistance, it would often be an advantage to have a higher education. The English speaking from the Indians, are quite the same and easy to understand.

Technical outsourcing
The technical
outsourcing in India is a very growing “industry” because; there are a lot of
people who knows a lot about computer programs and so.
I also found a Danish citizen on the internet, living in India who has specialized in spreading the outsourcing possibilities to Danish business people, and he says:

-
There
is a 24/7 service, all the year.
-
The
Indians have longer working days, and because of the time difference, they
almost works when the Danish are sleeping, and also the Danish are working when
the Indians are sleeping.
-
Sharing
of documents and so is easy and quick because of today’s Internet.
Car industry in India
Also the
car industry is growing in India.
For example the Hyundai automobiles is made in India and exported all over the world where it sells good, because of the low price, and good quality compared to other cars. The spare parts to the cars also come from India, therefore the spare parts are cheaper, than if they would come from USA, which the cars from General Motor, could be for example Opel which is build in Germany, but the spare parts has been produced in USA, where the price on spare parts is more expensive, because of the paying to the workers.

Hyundai is
a big concern who also manufactures oil tankers, container ships, excavators,
and other heavy machinery.
Future
So in the
Future India and also other Asian countries, would give us in the Western
countries a lot of competition, because of the lower price.
Personally I think the “network- outsourcing” is ok because I doesn’t cost much CO2 to the globe, but when the cars are made in India they have to be sailed to Denmark, and that costs a lot of CO2.

Low paying
and almost none working conditions? Bad for us.
