India is gearing up to tap the huge engineering outsourcing opportunity and position itself as the world's hub for high value design and manufacturing destination, a top Nasscom official said on Monday. "China may be the home for mass manufacturing, but India, with its high engineering base, can emerge as the destination for high value manufacturing," Nasscom president Kiran Karnik said.
Nasscom has initiated the engineering services forum and will build a brand for India as the outsourcing destination for engineering services, he said.
Nasscom chairman and TCS CEO S Ramadorai said the market potential for outsourced engineering services was between $7 billion and $12 billion, while the value of work currently undertaken by India-based vendors in this space was estimated about $500 million.
"This does not include that of the captive units of global firms," he said, adding that the engineering services had been divided into IT services (R&D services) and ITES-BPO (engineering BPO).
Ramadorai said Indian firms like L&T, Thermax, Mahindra and Hero Global Design are major outsourcers and the target verticals for India are automotive, aerospace, construction, manufacturing and embedded software and chip design.
Satyam Computer Services Chairman and Nasscom vice-chairman Ramalinga Raju said India's IT services success could be replicated in the engineering services and India could compete with China by harnessing its strengths.
"India-based design teams result in price performance structures which are significantly lower than of US," he said.
If this nonrebuttal demonstrates the level of intelligence we have to contend with coming out of Bangalore, I submit there is no Indian problem.
So why worry?
Because other less-savvy people might see your article and believe the hype.

Sounds like you are talking about yourself.
Neener neener boo boo to you too.
Loser.
Don't you have an article to post about UFO's landing in India and giving you guys time machines or something?
"Don't you have an article to post about UFO's landing in India and giving you guys time machines or something?"
You mean from IndiaDaily? Oh that one is based in New Jersy...... closer to you.
Hey, it doesn't say USADaily.
And it sure wasn't ME defending the nonsense therein.
If I recall correctly, that would be you.
"Hey, it doesn't say USADaily."
Check it out yourself where it is based.
And those UFO posts are for..... "less-savvy" people like you.
You don't have a very good memory, do you, Mr. Dot?
*YOU* were defending these articles, and *I* was ridiculing you.
Welcome to the world of Less Savvy.
"You don't have a very good memory, do you, Mr. Dot?

Were you? Oh! I dont remember.
Adios!
I'm done here, today.
Why do you bother? His mind is set in stone. You're just wasting your own time replying to every cheap shot..
And, their English is quite good - although they have trouble with some of our Southern terms - i.e. I "tumped" over the tea... :o)
On-site programmers can be of any nationality and succeed. What I disagree with -- vehemently -- is that off-site (and offshored) programmers can be effective. In my experience, they cannot.
There is also a slight racial difference -- again, in my experience, Americans tend to be more inventive and 'fluid'. This sometimes is a problem as they program something you didn't intend, but more often is a benefit. Indian programmers, as a rule, are more rigid.
And don't even start me on Russian programmers. Boy howdy.
.....says the fellow from India who's mind is set in stone. LOL!
Yes - they are on-site... We also have off-site programmers... they appear to be good as well, but I will agree with you that off-site programmers are nowhere near as effective as on-site programmers...
