We have published number of posts over last couple of years on Top Outsourcing companies, best managed outsourcing companies and Top outsourcing Destinations, but this list is exactly opposite to that.
This list gives you the riskiest cities to outsource your work. If you are looking to outsource your work to any of these countries, think twice !
This list has been published by Black Book of Outsourcing who have been doing it for last 3 years.
The rankings of the riskiest places are based on factors like high terrorist or rebel target threats, uncontrolled environment waste and pollution, corruption and organised crime, unstable currency, geopolitical conditions and unsecured networks and technology.

I know what you are thinking, how come Indian cities feature in this list if India is the Top outsourcing country in the world !
The reason is simple, although it is one of the riskiest cities for outsourcing, the benefits like low cost labour, English speaking population far outweigh the risks involved. !
