In the last post I mentioned how I get some ideas about outsourcing trends from the potential customers who contact us. I will continue this but for now I will just suggest another obvious but good way to spot trends. Find the gaps between the USA and India. In other words, if there is something not happening in India it will be soon. I know when Indians go to the USA they can see the gaps because they have a fresh perspective. One Indian entrepreneur who became a huge success in the USA said that this was one of the secrets to his success- insights from a new perspective. In the same way gaps appear obvious to visitors to India from the USA and Europe. So visit India and the opportunities will appear obvious and huge. Dell just reported good profits in Asia. It seems to me there is more potential for growth in India. Now you have a good excuse for taking a vacation to India.
