IT industry is growing at an astonishing rate, no matter how small or big a country every nation is getting into information and technology sector which was originally restricted to only developed places like U.S and Europe.
The need of outsourcing arises from the need of finding skilled manpower which is capable of working efficiently and is available at the lowest cost possible. Developed places like U.S.A, Europe etc have a deficit of low cost and skilled manpower, this deficit is fulfilled by countries like India and china which have are both strong economies and have a large proportion of skilled people, willing to work on low cost.

The typical destinations for Information technology outsourcing or ITO are India and china. These two Asian countries are very favorable due to huge amount of skilled personals and low cost to the companies. Philippines, Mexico and Costa Rica are some other popular places for IT outsourcing. India being more preferred due its high amount of English speaking personals.

India has an abundance of technically skilled manpower which along with a large portion of English speaking people make it a highly favorable market for BPO’s and information outsourcing. Almost half of the companies in Fortune 500 use Indian software services, placing India among the top 5 countries for offshore outsourcing.
