India has reiterated its position as the top Outsourcing Destination in the world – 6 out of 8 cities figure in the list of Top Outsourcing Cities in the world according to the report – Top 50 Emerging Global Outsourcing Cities - jointly released by CyberMedia and Tholons Research group.
Here are the highlights of the report:
Top Outsourcing Cities in the world
Although we hear every now and then that Indian Outsourcing Industry is facing tremendous competition from China, it does not seem to be a reality. India has reiterated the fact that it is the top Outsourcing Destination with 6 out of the Top 8 Global Outsourcing Cities are from India and the list notices no change compared to last year. The list continues to be dominated by Indian outsourcing locations, with only two non-Indian locations (Dublin and Manila)
Top Outsourcing Nations in the World
Although, China has been touted as the fastest growing and giving stiff competition to India, it still comes 4th on the list and is yet to surpass Philippines and Ireland.

To be honest, I do not think Indian Outsourcing Industry has anything to worry about in near future (say 5 – 8 years), especially because it is not relying on its past laurels.
Most of top Indian Software companies have been proactive and innovative in their growth – Be it moving across borders to open their development centers or be it expansion through Mergers & Acquisitions.
