Indian companies have been successful to date in several areas of the outsourcing market, without having to try particularly hard. The wage differential between Indian staff and staff in the G7 nations has historically been so large that the cost savings were a "no-brainer". However....

....the global situation is changing rapidly, with many other nations entering the low-cost staff battle.

What this means, I believe, is that the successful companies of the future will be those who offer more than just a room full of comparatively inexpensive staff, perhaps much more.

A good example is that of Godrej Global Services, who I had the pleasure of visiting last year. They are developing deep expertise in the area of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance work, which is a very major issue right now for lots of American companies. If they are successful, the likelihood is that they will win a lot of work, because they will actually be far more expert in dealing with the issues than the American companies themselves, who are currently struggling to comprehend and deal with the legislation.

The folks at 37signals.com have released a book that encompasses their business philosophy that is very innovative and agile. The book is called Getting Real and is available at http://gettingreal.37signals.com It is a fairly quick read and is easy-to-read even for the non-technical readers.

This current month's issue of BusinessWeek also has a feature on 37signals and their approach to go from concept to released product in 3 and a half-months or less. I am a big advocate of their philosophy because it can be a great mantra for Indian IT start-ups. The book professes a low-cost and lean approach to starting up that enables you to move quickly and engage customers early. Other key points in the book include the technique of being customer-centric in your product design and starting at the market-end, not at the engineering-end. They also list pitfalls that web-application-developing entrepreneurs commonly run into, and suggest how those can be avoided.
