Bangalore, rising wages and high turnover among engineers the professionals
most in demand for IT services-provide evidence that local constraints on the
supply of talent already exist. And just as these bottlenecks are developing,
other low-wage countries, such as China, Hungary, and the Philippines, are
gearing up to challenge India's lead. |
